D G
Broken would be the word that described her past
D
She tried hard not to let it show
G
Unspoken were the words that could attest
D
To the reason why her mind just wouldn't slow
G
With thoughts like speeding cars on '25
D
Sometimes, she was deafened from sound
G
I've checked her many, many times
A
When the wind from the highway had knocked her down
D G
There were times she came so close to being free
A D
Seen her close her eyes, look toward the sky
G
The pain from the past seemed to be
A
Too deep for her not to wonder why
Em A
She lived her life like a desperate rover
Em
And fought hard not to go under
A D G D A G
From the things she couldn't get over
D G
Her mind was like a high fi' stereo
D
With no way to turn the volume down
G
But she was my friend and all I know
D
Is I sure do miss her being 'round
G
Saw her picture in the paper and I'm told
D
She passed away in a nearby mountain town
G
I hope she's hearing whippoorwills sing
A
And the wind's not so strong and knocks her down
D G
There were times she came so close to being free
A D
Seen her close her eyes, look toward the sky
G
The pain from the past seemed to be
A
Too deep for her not to wonder why
Em A
She lived her life like a desperate rover
Em
And fought hard not to go under
A D G
From the things she couldn't get over
D G
She couldn't get over
D G D
Ooh ooh ooh, ooh-ooh
