Copyright 1995, Ken Riber
Recorded at Nightingale Studios/Nashville, Tenn.

Intro; E B E A
          E          A              E
There's a half moon shining on the highway
                                 B
Reflecting moonlight against the sky
     E            A        E
The night air is cool and quiet
                    B               E
As the desert waits for the sun to rise

      A                  E
He's thinking bout a love that's left him shaken
                             B
As he drives on through the night
            A                E     G#m    C#m      A
But there's no escape from a heart that's breakin'
      E        B          E
He's lost the courage to fight

Chorus;
        A            E
He's a lonely drifter, without a destination
                                    B
Driving to keep himself from going mad
        A                E           G#m   C#m     A
And the painful heartache, is such an agravation
    E               B                 E
He never knew that love could hurt so bad

Turnaround; A E G#m C#m A / E B E A

The night sky fades as dawn is breaking
Sunlight finds him in another town
He wonders how far he'll have to travel
Before an answer can be found

He's asked himself a thousand different questions
Trying to find out where he went wrong
But maybe it's just one of, life's hard lessons
But learning this one takes so long

Chorus;
