Capo: 3
Intro: G Cmaj7 F C
G Cmaj7
It's crystal breaking in the light of day
F C
It's the heat of the moon that's gone it's way
G Em7 Em
And everybody's packing their wings to fly home
F
Leaving me here
D G Cmaj7 F C G
In the cradle of the interstate alone
Em7 Cmaj7
Fair weather friends are a damn disease
F C G
They drink my wine and take my money
Cmaj7
Fools are reaching for a dim spotlight shine
F
If you want that shine
D G Cmaj7 F C
You're gonna have to write your own damn lines
F C
It turns a warm heart cold
Bm C G C Dm C G C F C
Hey, clear this road, let me by
G C
I got fog in the foothills of Tennessee,
F#
It's the Catskill mountains,
C
And the Blue Ridge behind me,
G C
Topping my list of all I need,
Dm
It's a warm cup of coffee,
D G Cmaj7 F C
And a bottle of whiskey beside me,
G C
I worked so hard to build this living,
F
In a business of hard lines,
C
Where nobody's sharing,
G
Fools chase their tails,
Fmaj7
For that Top 40 flight,
Dm
Now the only friend that holds me,
D G C Dm C
Is the cradle of the interstate at night,
F C
It turns a warm heart cold,
G Bm C G Cmaj7 F C
Hey, clear this road, let me by,
G Cmaj7
It's crystal breaking in the light of day,
F C
It's the heat of the moon, who's gone his way,
G C
And everybody's packing their wings to fly home
F D G
Leaving me here in the cradle of the interstate, alone,
C
Lullaby...
F D G
Roll me gently in this cradle of the interstate home
C
Lullaby...
F D G
Roll me gently in this cradle of the interstate home
C
Lullaby...
F Bm D G
Roll me gently in this cradle of the interstate home
C F C
Ooh ooh, ooh ooh, ooh
