Three Chords And The Truth
DOn a highway bound for nowhere
I ran my fingers through my tangled hair
As I Gpulled iDn for another tank of freedom
With a hundred miles behind me
And a million more to go
I was Etryin' Ato put some distance between us
DI turned on the radio
And a voice came over sweet and low
And I Gdidn't Dknow the tears were gonna start
GBut what amazed me even more
IDs I'Gd never heard that song before
DBut someAhow DI knew each word by heart
Chorus:
And GI don'Dt know why, I don't know how
ABut with his song he turned my life and
DThis old car around
DJust wGhen I thouDght GI was over you-oooh
GHe changDed my Amind witDh three chords and the truth
DFound a pay phone at a truck stop
Said a prayer as the quater dropped
GOh, please Dbe home, I know that I was wrong
GHoney, don't talk, just listen
I tDhink I Gfound what I was missin'
In a Dsong AI heDard tonight on the radio

In a song I heard tonight on the radio
