There's a freight train roaring through the dead of night
Em7
Heading straight for Yuma
C9                                       G
I hear it every time it rolls through town
G
It's one a.m. and I'm wide awake
Em7
Too hot for sleeping
C9                            G
Those wheels keep spinning round

Wheels keep spinning round and round

Trucks are flying up and down I-10
Em7
I can hear them in the distance
C9                               G
Tired drivers trying to beat the heat

G
We used to drive with the headlights out
Em7
Moonlight on the highway
C9                                     G
You were sleeping with your head in my lap

You were sleeping with your head in my lap

Life don't get much better than that

Hubcaps spinning in the light

How'd I let it get so wrong
    D                           G    C9
The days roll by and the nights drag on
D                       C9     G
Trying to find a way to get on track
    Em7                     C9      G
But I'm spinning wheels and looking back
    Em7              C9      G    (G)
Just spinning wheels looking back

G
Shots ring out in the middle of a dream
Em7
Car tires squealing
C9                            G
For a moment I wonder where I am
G
I'm right here in this little hot house
Em7
With no one beside me
C9                                     G
Listening to the wobble of the ceiling fan

I'm listening to the wobble of ceiling fan
