Capo 1
D A G
Four-thirty at a truckstop outside of Gainesville
D A G
I walked in to rest a while
D A
Then a girl came in
G
To grab another tank full
D A G
She looked at me and I just smiled
G A
I heard her say she'd been driving all night
D G
She got to head to the city just to catch a flight
D A G
But it don't leave until the afternoon
G A D
She said I've done my time in Texas
G A D
And I've never seen Paris France
Bm G
But a postcard from a friend of mine
G A D
Said this might just be my chance
G A D
I fly out of Oklahoma
G A D
Do you think you'd like a ride?
Bm G
Or will you walk away from another day
G A D
With your thumb aimed at the sky
D A G
We spent that morning on the road
D A G
Sharing tales and getting high
D A G
Then she said hey mister it's time to go
D A G
And I just hate to say goodbye
G A
All them times that I've been burned
D G
There's still one lesson that I won't learn
D A G
You don't know what you have until it's gone
G A D
I got a three day walk to Texas
G A D
And it's raining in Paris France
Bm G
And I'd grab that girl and I'd love her, lord
G A D
If I only had the chance
G A D
So God smile on Oklahoma
G A D
Because I can't seem to find a ride
Bm G
As I walk away from another day
G A D
With my thumb aimed at the sky.
