[Verse 1]
                        Am7                F
Hot rubber on the asphalt, fire through the pines
C                                                F
Half a cup of coffee and a pack of smokes to the Oklahoma line
               C      Am7              F
Thinking 'bout Grandpa, thinking 'bout home
         C                          Em                   F
What the hell I'm gonna say? Why your baby ran away without even a phone call?
 
[Chorus]
                    C               Am7
I was caught in the moment, livin' a half life
         F
I'm only waitin' to come down
       C                    Am
Half a believer, heart of a doubter
      F
I only hope I make you proud
        G                              Dm7  F
Between here and there and everything I got
