Standard (EADGBE)

there was a girl hitchhikin' with a dog

fireflies buzzin' 'round her head

like candles in a fog

He was three miles down the road

tryin' to stay up but he knew that he couldn't

she was looking for a ride through the night

but out there who wouldn't

There were bound for glory, bound for livin' on the edge

they were bound for each other

like two comets headin' for a bed

She had a new way of livin, new way of lookin' at life

he had an '84 International and two kids

he left back home with his wife

(waylon sings-same chords)

He was tired of writing letters to himself

and living in the dark

She was open to suggestions

and some say she had a broken heart

He had everything he wanted

till it all turned out to be a job

One fallen asleep trucker

and a girl hitchhikin' with a dog

(same as previous chorus)

There were bound for glory, bound for livin' on the edge

they were bound for each other,

like two comets headin' for a bed

She had a new way of livin, new way of lookin' at life

he had an '84 International and two kids

he left back home with his wife

(Go up a full step to A)

Out on the Trans-Canada highway

the sun cam climbin' up the cab

by the time it hit the window

they were waking up from what little sleep they had

When that heat hit the blankets

They were looking for love at second sight

Just starin' in each other's eyes

findin' it in the morning light

There were bound for glory, bound for livin' on the edge

they were bound for each other,

like two blankets laying on a bed

She had a new way of livin, new way of lookin' at life

he had an '84 International and two kids

he left back home with his wife
