G C FF C FF
An' he sings in the band
Verse 2.
Her eyes light up the night like itty bits of sequin
She likes his face, a story of its own
Company's a fright, lonely in Manhattan
Waiting for a savior or to see his show
Chorus 2.
She grew out her hair
Says she wants to be a star
It's a long road to Heaven
From the backseat of a car
C FF C C/B
Change:
Am G/B F C
A dancer, a poet, a living existential
Am F C C/B
Nothing St. Estephe cannot save
Am G/B F C
One can escape from running in circles
Am F G
Promises die in the grave
Verse 3.
Night they finally spent, Winona Minnesota
A pretty face was born here, the ugly pass away
Holy is the magic in this life or after
Romance is a stranger, lets a lover stay
Chorus 3.
Now she's twenty years old
An' she's found another man
Now she's lookin' back on life
And he sings in the band
C FF C FF C
Great road trippin tune to sing along to or play along to.
