Standard (EADGBE)

Driving at night

The Trans-Canada Highway

Was lit up for miles in the snow

I lit a smoke and you rolled down the window

You said it gave you a headache

But that was a line

That you often used

It always worked on me

I pulled to the side

Of the winding road

So we could get some sleep

And I watched you snore

As the snow started falling

Your phone started ringing

Your husband was calling

But I let you sleep

Cuz you looked like you were dreaming

And that suited me man, fine

And we got on the road back to Medicine Hat

To the town where you grew up

I pulled in the driveway

And cranked up the heater

And you turned the radio up

You said "I think I'm getting old"

I said "I think that you look be-tter than ever"

So lets keep drivin' any direction

I won't spare you no affection

In our beautiful new life

(And I said) It won't be easy leaving

Everything behind

But lets leave everything behind
