Another town is growing near

Oh baby I wish you were here
C                       D                    Em

(while Riff A)
 
If I hurt you, leave behind
The hurt that's on your mind
Oh at last night's show sure a toll on me
Well the city lights fly by me
I lay my body in my bed
You know dreams of you dance trough my head

(while Riff A)
 
yes, those big wheels, red and roll
We been flyin' high and so low
Lord and all the Spanish, ain't as crazy as it seems
Every where they stop and stare
I'm just the stranger on this road
Lord I stand alone only in my dreams
