G                                                    C
The windmills and the water tanks all stand on solid ground
    D                                         G
The country mailman mutters as he motors into town
                                                            C
The sunlight came, the sunlight went, the stars came out to see
    D                                                        G
The way I laughed and the way I cried at the way you treated me

[Chorus]
    C             G                                          C
The ocean babe is watered down but these plains are high and dry
    D                                                             G
And though you've seen your share of dreams, you've never seen me cry

[Verse 2]
G                                                   C
The windshield and the radio play sadly through the night
  D                                                G
A crazy blazin' fallin' star just passed me on the right
                                                     C
The tail lights down the highway fade low and out of sight
         D                                                       G
And that farmer's dog can only bark but this cold north wind can bite

[Chorus]
   C             G                                          C
The ocean babe is watered down but these plains are high and dry
    D                                                             G
And though you've seen your share of dreams, you've never seen me cry

[Verse 3]
G                                                      C
The windbreaks and the watersheds are growin' old this year
    D                                                  G
The moon breaks in a brand new song while I break in a tear
                                                                C
They say that all good things must end, they say what's done is done
      D                                            A     G
And I guess I should be flyin' 'cause it's killin' me to run
