Key: G
Introduction:
C G
Silence stole this house long ago
Em D
Little sister you can never leave
C G
Is that you ribbons rolling with the leaves
Em D
Carried high on a southern breeze
C G
I'm standing up and I'm holding 'fraid
Em D
Carrying the blame
C G
And mother she don't talk to me
Em D
And dad always works so far away
C G
But we're all together hanging on the wall
Em D
Full of life in a crooked frame
C G
It's hard to call this place really a home
Em D
It's just somewhere that I've got to get away
Chorus 2X (tempo shifts into 2nd gear during chorus)
G D
And I'm gonna roll, gonna gear up again
C G
I'm gonna roll down the windows, drive hard
D
and let those years blow back in
C G
I'm gonna lock these doors for the last time
Em D
Let the water drip down the kitchen drain
C G
I'm gonna drive away and throw out the keys
Em D
Heading east through the drizzling rain
Chorus
