A D
Carolina highway, past boroughs and pine brakes
A E
The road's long behind me, every signpost reminds me
A D
My eyes have grown heavy, my wheels drone on steady
A E A
In the heat of the wide, the heat of the wide, the heat of the wide afternoon.
Chorus:
E D A
I've been here forever, my whole life at least
F#m Bm E
Trapped between morning's optimism and night's fleeting dreams
A D Bm
Here where it matters, where reality looms
A E A
In the heat of the wide, the heat of the wide, the heat of the wide afternoon
This road was a drug when I started way back
Each hill that I killed was like a pill that I took to relax
Till the peace in the valleys got a little too peaceful
All the ridges I've run and all that I've done has left me with eyes full
Eyes full of the worst, eyes full of the best
Eyes full of a tiredness that won't let me rest
All the places I go to, no place is brand new
In the heat of the wide afternoon
Chorus
Some people sit still, some people go fast
Some go right to it, some never get past
Laying a map out, they don't plan just assume
And wind up forever in the heat of the wide afternoon.
Chorus
