G                                   C9 
He never knew their names and never really cared 
         Em                           D 
Lying to himself, he was never just a young kid scared 
G                                C9 
Living on his own with no one to hold on to 
Em                D 
Nowhere to go and nothing to do 
C9 
But lie awake and pray that one day 
C9 
Someone will come his way 

Chorus 
       G 
All he knows are   
              D 
Highways and broken hearts 
Em               C9 
Late nights and old guitars 
G          D 
Wondering where you are 
       Em  D   C9 
You're so far away 

His shoes are worn and tired and not at their best 

Like a gypsy never sure where he'll be going next 

Superficial friends, and girls with glazed over eyes 

It's a good time, but just for the night 

Then off he'll go to maybe Mexico 

Then off to Colorado 

Chorus 

Staring through the walls of that motel room 

Reflecting on his days, the route that he's seemed to choose 

Will good outshine the bad, can he turn this thing around 

Should he drop to his knees, just give up now 

Begging for release in the night 

Has he gone too far to fight? 

Chorus 
       Em  D   C9 
You're so far away 
       Em  D   C9 
You're so far away
