Introduction: C F C G C F
C F
On a two lane north of casper is where this all begins
C G
Heading back to Oklahoma for a week to visit friends
C F
She was walking 'long the highway so I pulled off to the side
Am C/B C F7M G
And asked her if she needed a ride
C F
We tore up that ole blacktop 'til we found I-25
C G
And just into Colorado she asked if she could drive
C F
I'd never met nobody like her. I'd never laughed so much
Am C/B C G
And I grew hungry for her touch
F7M
I used to think of autumn
C
As sweaters and leaves
G/B
And I used to think the night
C
Was just for dreamers and thieves
F7M Am C
But that was before she came
Am C/B C F7M G
Allison Miranda was her name
Repeat Intro
C F7M
By the time that we hit Kansas we both felt pretty beat
C G
So we found ourselves a motel and we grabbed a bite to eat
C F7M
We'd rest a few short hours soon we'd be out of there
Am C/B C F7M G
Three days later we came up for air
Repeat Chorus
C F
Now I can't forget the morning when I woke alone in bed
C G
To a rose left on her pillow and a good-bye note that read
C F7M
You cannot grow a flower if you do not have the seed
Am C/B C F7M G
Now I've got everything I need
Repeat Chorus
