Lay Low

G It’s a good three hours to Aberdeen, Bm and I’ve read all the magazines C D And the jokes are all played out G or wearin’ thin G So I lie back and I close my eyes and Bm I let that old sadness rise C D G And I listen to Hello In There again G Bm/G And riding shotgun all the time, that Bm C melancholy ghost of mine Am D G Plays Jesus to my lonely Joan of Arc C G D Together we go ridin’ through the dark G Bm C G I think I need to lay low for awhile C G Am D Stare at the Gulf of Mexico for awhile G Bm C G Take it easy take it slow for awhile C D G I think I need to lay low G Tonight I’ll call to say hello, Bm but your phone’s just gonna ring I know C D G I guess some things just cannot be undone G So I clutch this guitar to my chest and Bm wonder just what I’ll have left C D G When all of this hard traveling’s finally done G Bm/G You say I’m not who I used to be, Bm C that ain’t exactly news to me Am D G That girl has long since cut and run C G D But baby I am not the only one G Bm C G I think I need to lay low for awhile C G Am D Stare at the Gulf of Mexico for awhile G Bm C G Tell ’em all where they can go for awhile C D G I think I need to lay low G She travels fast who goes alone, Bm this wind’ll cut you to the bone C D G These truckers sure are flyin here tonight G And as for me I’m gettin by, Bm I still laugh but I can’t cry C D G That door is shut and locked up tight G Bm/G The days go by like hazy dreams, Bm C the nights at least I get to sing Am D G And suddenly it’s three AM again C G D And this sadness like a tide that’s rollin’ in G Bm C G I think I need to lay low for awhile C G Am D Stare at the Gulf of Mexico for awhile G Bm C G Think I need to let it go for awhile C D G I think I need to lay low C D G I think I need to lay low
