[Intro]
Em
[Verse]
Em
As strong as the day was long
D
Rosemary would sing along
Am C
Wheels rolling steady down the way
Em
The ashtray it would fill up twice
D
The windows down felt nice
Am C
As miles stretched the twilight of the day
Em
Driving up I-55
D
Mississippi zooming by
Am C
Salvation in the cool November air
Em
I’m searching for the mixture
D
That could paint a pretty picture
Am C Em
Of the wind blowing through Rosemary’s hair
[Chorus]
Am Em
Her daddy always said she was the one
Am Em
Who made the light stars could wish upon
Am Em
Rosemary with a Bible and a gun
[Verse]
Em
I was more than smitten
D
By the words as they were written
Am C
And the opportunities awaiting there
Em
Our time was etched and promised
D
Til the truth came down upon us
Am C
Descending all our hopes into despair
Em
We took our leave and headed north
D
A tank at 20 dollars worth
Am C
The highway called her name like sirens call
Em
25 and on the run
D
William Eggleston
Am C Em
Parking lots with neon in the fall
[Chorus]
Am Em
Her daddy’s eyes drew fire into the sun
Am Em
Asked me why I thought I was the one
Am Em
His eyes could be deemed worthy to whoever cast upon
Am Em
Rosemary with a Bible and a gun
Am Em
One kiss could turn the dark to light, the dawn
Am Em
This rollercoaster highway can’t compare to the fun
Am Em
Of Memphis saturated in decay and on the run
Am Em
Rosemary with a Bible and a gun
