A 
The green truck hummed low 
F#m 
Ah, we took only back roads 
D 
We drove miles of country 
D                  E 
We saw an old barn burning 

A 
Skies were a light blue 
F#m 
All the billboards read untrue 
D 
I read them, each one 
D                E 
We passed by the thousands 

A 
Was a full sun at high noon 
F#m 
And up rose a bright moon 
D 
Casting shadows, 
D             E 
Like dancing sparrows

A (strum once) 
Sing me baby home, 
A 
Sing me baby home, 
F#m 
Run baby, run baby, run baby, run 
D 
Run from the one who you know that you love 
E                                   A 
Run baby, run baby, run baby, baby run 

A 
Oh we turned on the radio 
F#m 
And listened to talk shows 
D 
Till the engine slowly,  
D                E 
drove down into sleep 

A 
The desert's sunrise 
F#m 
Was a feast to our eyes 
D 
The dry heat and hot wind 
D           E 
Caressing our skin 

A 
We'll go no further 
F#m 
We'll build us a home here 
D 
For a time, not forever 
D             E 
Just you and I dear
