[Bm] I'm the [Am] son of [G] a highway [D] daughter, born [A] in [D] gasoline
I trace [A] the steps of [Bm] my foolish [D] father, and dance with the devil in [A] Galilee
It [D] was a cold [A]
[Bm] winter, ice [A] above the water, [G] and nails [A] stuck between [D] my toes
So I [A] pried out and [Bm] I buried [D] my doubt in [G] all the women [D] along the road
And I went [G] down to Duplin [A] County, where I [Bm] found God [B] in a [G] bottle of wine
And I headed up north, [A] thinking I could find [D] any work or peace of mind
[Bm] Nobody sells that around [A] here too [F#m] much [D] anymore
[Bm] I woke [D] up stoned [G] with a [D] bag of bones, [Em] laying in [D] my bed
She was breathing [A] fire, I [Bm] was a worn [D] out car
[G] Trying to brush her ash [D] outside of my head
But it was an easy [A] [Bm] game, nothing in [F#m] the chest [G] needed something just a little more [Bm] cold
[D] So I traded [A] her head [Bm] for a bag of [A] tin, and [G] I headed [A] on down [D] the road
And I got [G] lost in [A] California, where [Bm] I've been waiting on the [G] days to rain
But I was looking to find [A] any reason to hide, [D] but no reason [G] ever [D] came
And all [Bm] of the lonesome [F#m] sounds of the [A]
streetlight, [D] pushing [A] strangers [D] along their way
