G D G
i’ve never taken this curve
G D G
driving this fast before
G D Em C
a glowing stop sign , but both lanes are mine
G D G
no seat belts attached to my door

G G

G D G
well my speed meter don’t work
G D G
so i’m going to guess ninety – five
G D Em C
well maybe i’ll fix it , and maybe i won’t
G D G
it depends on my being alive

G G

G D G
well my bottle of bourbon is gone
G D G
it flew away all by itself
G D Em C
so if ever you find it , my photo behind it
G D G
in memory of me on your shelf

G G

G D G
well it’s been raining all day
G D G
and it’s been raining all night
G D Em C
a slip and slide highway and i’m moving sideways
G D G
i’m loose , but my steering wheel’s tight

G G

G D G
well my sixty – three ford is a bull
G D G
she’s four thousand pounds at least
G D Em C
but metal surrenders when oak trees meet fenders
G D G
and engines go through the front seat

G G

G D G
well i lost control in the curve
G D G
and a gas line broke in the wreck
G D Em C
i walked from the ashes with just a few scratches
G D G
my crucifix warm on my neck

G G

G D G
well my good lord was with me tonight
G D G
just riding beside me tonight
G D Em C
and now we’re just talking , we’re hitchhiking , walking
G D G
we’ll see you in concord tonight

G D
and now we’re just walking
Em C
we’re hitchhiking , talking

G
we’ll see you
D
in concord
G C G
