Capo 2nd fret
Standard (EADGBE)
Intro
Got caught up in a breakaway dream
Destination city of New Orleans
Cheap motels and big rig swells
Crossing bridges for eternity
[D}Headed west for a two week stand
Saw the poets of workaday glasses
Las Cruces is a part of you now
Desert birds sing songs of laughter
Still out there with the coffee stains
And putting miles on shoes
Can't escape the smell of cigarettes
Still living out these American late night blues
Intro again
Best to clear the mind
With a Mexicali radio station
Keep an eye out for the border patrol
Checking for drugs and so called aliens
Highways and dreams forever together
In the minds of the free and the innocent
Always a future in the traveler's hands
Starting fires on the river of madness
Still out there with the coffee stains
And putting miles on shoes
Can't escape the smell of cigarettes
Still living out these American late night blues
Intro again
Still out there with the coffee stains
And putting miles on shoes
Can't escape the smell of cigarettes
Still living out these American late night blues
Intro again to end the song on D
