Dm C(2)
Come on baby, let''s get out of this town

In my pocket I''ll carry my harp
Bb Am F
I got some money I''ve saved enough to get underway
Bb F C(2)
and baby you can sleep while I drive
Dm C(2)
We''ll go through Tucson up to Santa Fe
Dm C(2)
and Barb''ra in Nashville says we''re welcome to stay
Bb Am F
I''ll buy you glasses in Texas, a hat from New Orleans
Bb F C(2)
and in the morning you can tell me your dreams
G7 F C
You know I''ve seen it before, this mist that covers your eyes
