bound of glory

Out on the Trans-Canada highway

there was a girl hitchhikin' with a d[C]og

f[D]ireflies buzzin' 'round her head

like candles in a fog

He was three miles down the road

tryin' to stay up but he knew that he co[C]uldn't

she was lo[D]oking for a ride through the night

but out there who wouldn[G]'t

 

There were bound for glory, bound for livin' on the [Am]edge

they were b[D]ound for each other

like two comets headin' for a b[G]ed

She had a new way of livin, new way of lookin' at l[Am]ife

he had an '[D]84 International and two kids

he left back home w[C]ith his wife

 

He was tired of writing letters to himself

and living in the dark

She was open to suggestions

and some say she had a broken heart

He had everything he wanted

till it all turned out to be a job

One fallen asleep trucker

and a girl hitchhikin' with a dog

 

There were bound for glory, bound for livin' on the edge

they were bound for each other,

like two comets headin' for a bed

She had a new way of livin, new way of lookin' at life

he had an '84 International and two kids

he left back home with his wife

 

 

[A]Out on the Trans-Canada highway

the sun cam climbin' up the c[D]ab

by the t[E]ime it hit the window

they were waking up from what little sleep they h[A]ad

When that heat hit the blankets

They were looking for love at second s[D]ight

Just st[E]arin' in each other's eyes

findin' it in the morning l[A]ight

 

There were bound for glory, bound for livin' on the [Bm]edge

they were bo[E]und for each other,

like two blankets laying on a b[A]ed

She had a new way of livin, new way of lookin' at l[Bm]ife

he had an [E]'84 International and two kids

he left back home w[D]ith his wife [A]
