[F]
I slept on a shield, it was a perfect size [C] seven.
Said there's no [Am] smoking in this story, man.
[G]
She crossed her [F] legs and I made some small talk.
And that's where it should [C] have started.
She slipped me [Am] her number, [G] put it in [F] my pocket.
My hand slipped up her skirt, everything slipped [C] my mind.
[Em] In that little [A] [Am] roadhouse [F]
[G] on [C] Highway 29.
It was a small town [F] bank, it was a [C] mess.
Yeah, well [Am] I had a gun [G]
and all [F] the rest.
Money on the floorboard, shirt was covered in blood and [C] she was crying.
Me and her, [Am] we headed south
[F] [C] on Highway 29.
Little desert [Am] motel, the air was hot [F] and clean.
I slept the sleep of the [C] dead, didn't [G] dream.
I woke in [A] the [Am] morning, washed my face in the [F]
sand.
Headed out [C] to the Sierra Madres, across the [G]
borderline.
When the [F] sun shined through the [C] black trees.
I thought it was something [Am] in her.
[G] But as we drove, I knew it was something in [F] me.
Something that had been coming for a [C] long, long time.
Something that [Am] was here with me
[F] [C] on Highway 29.

Road was filled with broken glass and [C] gasoline.
She wasn't [Am] saying nothing, [C]
it was just [F] a dream.
Wind come silent through the windshield.
All you could see was snow and [C] sky and pine.
I closed my eyes and [Am] I was running.
[C] Yeah, I was running and I was [F] flying.
