CAPO: 2 


Intro: C  G  C  G 

C            G         C 
She ain't no senator's daughter 
                       G 
She ain't no Tennessee belle 
    C          C7         F            C 
And I ain't no one, but a lone drifter running 
                 G       C     G 
The road down to Playa Miguel  


  C           G            C 
I met her out west pumping diesel 
                                   G 
In a town where the sand meets the sea  
        C           C7           F            
She was leather and snaps and an old baseball cap 
C             G               C 
She stole the wild heart from me 


   F             G        C 
So take all your debutant princesses fair 
F           C            G 
Splendid in diamonds and pearls 
    C             G        C           F 
I'd trade 'em all in for a kiss on the wind 
         C         G           C     G 
From the lips of a gas station girl  


C          G        C 
Out on the Michigan freeway 
                     G 
Working a steady job there 
      C         C7           F          C   
I was pulling a car-lot from Detroit to Charlotte 
               G            C 
I guess I just lost her somewhere 


F                G        C 
Midnight through Kansas I whispered her name 
F         C            G 
Spun in a dust-devil's whirl 
C        G             C          F 
No one replied but the moon in my eyes 
       C             G           C     G 
Crying tears for the gas station girl  


Instrumental: C  G  C   G  C  C7  F  C  G  C 


C        G         C 
Somebody send me a tail wind 
                  G 
Get me as far as LA 
          C             C7         F          C   
With some lines I could use from a honky-tonk blues 
                G         C 
To keep me from slipping away 


F            G              C 
Lord blow me westbound down old '66 
F            C          G 
Out past the end of the world 
     C            G                C            F 
On a highway that runs through the heart of the sun 
       C           G           C     
To the door of the gas station girl
