Bass part
              E
I'm driving a big lazy car rushin' up the highway in the dark
               A
I got one hand steady on the wheel and one hand's tremblin' over my heart
     E
It's pounding baby like it's gonna bust right on through
        A                                             |  E  |  E  |  E  |  E  |  A  |  A  |  A  |  A  | 
And it ain't gonna stop till I'm alone again with you
E
A friend of mine became a father last night
      A
When we spoke in his voice I could hear the light
       E
Of the skies and the rivers the timberwolf in the pines
               A
And that great jukebox out on Route 39
         E
They say he travels fastest who travels alone
      A                                                 |  E  |  E  |  E  |  E  |  A  |  A  |  A  |  A  | 
But tonight I miss my girl mister tonight I miss my home
          C#m
Is it the sound of the leaves left blown by the wayside
       G#m
That's got me out here on this spooky old highway tonight
          A
Is it the cry of the river with the moonlight shining through
     B
That ain't what scares me baby what scares me is losing you
 |  E  |  E  |  E  |  E  |  A  |  A  |  A  |  A  |  E  |  E  |  E  |  E  |  A  |  A  |  A  |  A  | 

                 E
They say if you die in your dreams you really die in your bed
         A
But honey last night I dreamed my eyes rolled straight back in my head
  E
And God's light came shinin' on through
   A
I woke up in the darkness scared and breathin' and born anew
              E
It wasn't the cold river bottom I felt rushing over me
              A
It wasn't the bitterness of a dream that didn't come true
              E
It wasn't the wind in the grey fields I felt rushing through my arms
   A                  |  E  |  E  |  E  |  E  |  A  |  A  |  A  |  A  | 
No no baby it was you
E
So hold me close honey say you're forever mine
A                                         |  E  |  E  |  E  |  E  |  A  |  A  |  A  |  A  |  fade out
And tell me you'll be my lonely valentine
