[D] I traded for [Bm] a songbird, [D]
[G] a [D] bigger piece of [Em] sky
[B]
[D] When I miss the good old days [A] I can't [D] imagine why
Still [G] I get restless and I drive [D] any time
I cruise [A] once down Main Street and I turn [D] back around

And never stop believing in [A] that dream [D] around the bend
Still [G] I get restless and I drive [D] any time

My [A] radio playing, my window [D] rolled down
It's [G] crazy but God knows I don't [D] act my age

[Bm] [D] deep down in the winter
[G] Time [D] slows to a [Em] crawl
[B] [D] There's really nothing much to do
[A] Until the first spring thaw
[D] It's then I get to thinking [G] I [D] must have [Em] gone insane
[D] Old memories roll through my mind [A] like a long slow railroad [D]
train
Still [G] I get restless and I drive [D] any time
