          D                                              D
Well, the midnight headlight blind you on a rainy night, steep grade up ahead,
                        G                      D
slow me down, makin' no time, but I gotta keep rollin'.
      D                                       D
Those windshield wipers slappin' out a tempo, keepin' perfect rhythm
                         G                     D
with the song on the radio, yeah, I gotta keep rollin'.

Ooh, I'm driving my life away,

I'm lookin' for a better way for me.
D                   C
Ooh, I'm driving my life away,

I'm lookin' for a sunny day.

                  G                            D
said I wouldnt be sorry oh, but she was just a baby.

                              G                                D
