INTRO: |D - E |A ||
Where [A]Providence Road crosses [Bm7] I-54,
[D]There on the outskirts of [A]town;
[A]He made a testament [Bm7]to their love
The [D]only way he knew [E]how.
[D]Armed with a can of red [E]aerosol paint,
[D]Trusting his life to that [E]rope 'round his waist,
[A]Dangling above the [Bm7]westbound passing lane,
He wrote [D]Jimmy Lee [E]loves Becky [A]Brown.
D - E A
Two names on an overpass;
D - E A
A death defying feat of love.
D - E A
To this day, every time she drives past
D - E A
She's taken back when she looks up.
F#m C#m
It was just her and him, things were so simple then;
Bm - Bm7 E
All you needed to prove love would last
D - E A
Were two names on an overpass.
BREAK: |D - E |A ||
The years take their toll beyond human control;
Soon you're so far from where love begins.
They used to hold hands, now they're just hanging on
With a mortgage, two cars, and three kids.
Her heart is yearning for tender romance;
His back is breaking from time and a half.
But today on the highway they looked up and laughed,
And she slid over closer to him.
Two names on an overpass;
A death defying feat of love.
To this day, every time she drives past
She's taken back when she looks up.
When it was just her and him, things were so simple then;
All you needed to prove love would last
Were two names on an overpass.
Two names on an overpass.
OUTRO: |D - E |A ||
