 Capo 2
 
 D                      A            
 Flickering lights mean distant towns
 G                   D             
 Rolling wheels make humming sounds
     D                   A             
 The full moon makes the night like day
   G                         D            
 A lonely road will make you feel this way
          D                      A               
 When the town square's dark the stoplights flash
   G               D            
 A midnight diesel rolls on past
   D                        A          
 A northern front gives the air a chill
   G                           D   
 I loved you then and I always will
 
 Chorus:
 A                      G    
 I just roll the windows down
 A               G        D   
 Passing through your hometown
 
 Up at the high school there's no one in sight
 They won their game on Friday night
 Now the lights are dark on the field of grass
 Where the hometown kid caught the touchdown pass
 Now the S.P. rail it makes a lonesome sound
 It splits the air and it shakes the ground
 Then it's swallowed up in the morning still
 I loved you then and I always will
 
 Chorus
 
 On the edge of town a store's lit up bright
 Gas pumps washed in flourescent light
 The cashier nods and jerks awake
 At eight AM she says she'll take her break
 And now your town recedes in my rear view
 I've no idea what became of you
 The sun comes up on a distant hill
 I loved you then and I always will
 
 Chorus
