G 
Just a dot on a road map

Nowhere is where we're at

My daddy worked nearly all his life 
        C 
Just to get here, imagine that 
G 
I love you baby and I always will 
    D 
But please make no mistake 
         E   
Watchin' paint dry on a Friday night 
          C                    D  
Is just a little bit more than I can take 

Chorus:

I need a fast horse

I'll take a slow train

Gimme a window seat on an airplane

I need a ticket somewhere 
                   E   D C

They say a wild heart

Will get you so far 
E                     C                        E   D C             
And I'm thinkin' that you need a head start

Never slows down and it don't stop

You only get one time around 
            C 
And there's no time for a second thought

If you're gonna keep up with somebody like me 
      D 
Who's way past thinkin' that it's time to leave 
E   
You wait around I'll be gone

On the first thing I get my hands on
