[Verse 1]

I'm driving the highway

I'm making my way out to Santa Fe

I'm gonna sleep in the hills

I'm gonna run through the valley

Always thinking of you

[Verse 2]

Turquoise and silver

On the bank of a river where I give to her

Twenty dollars for two

Pretty little earrings,

I'm always thinking of you

G G/F# Em7

[Chorus]

Em7 C G G/F#

I'm driving out west to New Mexico

Em7 C G G/F#

In my 1998 Volvo

Trying to find someplace I'd rather be

C G D Am7

Than caught in the thorns of my rose

N.C.

In Tennessee

[Verse 3]

I roll the windows down

And the wind starts whipping around my head

And I hear the sound of my baby's voice saying

Come back home

But I keep on keeping on

Turn my headlights on

And drive til dawn

Til the sun burns red

Like the hair on your head,

I'm always thinking of you

And it's all desolation, oh

And how's a kid to know when to turn around

Turn the music up, hit the gas and go

[Verse 6]

Every flower I see

Even them Joshua trees remind me

that I don't have to bleed

Sometimes I want to,

I'm always thinking of you.

[Chorus]
