[Verse]
         G                                                                 That old highway down to Memphis late last night 
                 CWas a lonely time to kill
 D                                                                                We just drove through Little Rock 
                               GAnd you've only been on my mind since Nashville
                                                                  
As I lay my head down on the bed in the back 
                     CI hear that turbo diesel whine 
D                                                    In my dreams you're kissing me 
                      GAs we cross the Texas line

[Verse]
            GWe've got a show tonight in Dallas 
                               CI think we hit the stage around midnight
       DI sure hope the band is cooking 
                                     GI want to leave those Texans feeling right

Then we head out for the West Coast they say that it's the best coast 
CBut I don't think that's true 
    DBut tonight it doesn't matter much 
                          GAll I ever think about is you

[Chorus]
   C                     DSo hold on darling don't let this dream die 
          G                           CI'm gonna love you long after all the oceans turn dry
                                 DWith my heart in my hand I'll be standing at your door 
     G                        CYour traveling man will never leave you any more 
                  D                     EmYour traveling man has come to take you away

[Instrumental] (x2)

[Verse]
GL.A. was a bust they never had much time for us
CI guess they were busy with the O.J. show
        DI don't think too much about it now
                                                   GWon't be long before we're back in the land of the snow 

We've got two nights in San Francisco 
                          CThen it's off to Colorado it's a good thing I was born to roam
       DIt was colder up in Boulder but we got the warmest shoulder
           GMade these blues boys feel at home

[Verse]
         GThen its north by northwest to the land I know the best
CNorth of the 49
             DSoon I'll be heading in your direction 
                                            GWon't be long before you're in these arms of mine

[Chorus]
         CSo be my shot gun rider
   D                             EmProtect me from the cold and the pain
        C            DCome on hold me darling
               EmWe're together again

                               GAnd you've only been on my mind since Nashville
