GC Hey, hey, Carla
DG It's a long way to Missouri
B7Em From this highway
AmD East of Roanoke
GC We had a moment
DG That felt like summer
B7Em Now in slumber
AmD I can see your smile
 
GC We drive for miles
DG Through corporate Ohio
B7Em Rest stops in West Virginia
AmD Traffic in Washington DC
 
G But of all the scenes that I see
F Played out this window to the left of me
EmCm The thought of you it shines
GCC/BAmDG The band plays on, I keep the time
 
GC We play in the night time
DG Awake before sunrise
B7Em Wipe the sleep from my eyes
AmD Coffee my best friend
GC You dance between classes
DG Complete difficult assignments
B7Em Wonder where the time went
AmD Out drinking with your friends
 
GC We see a lot of beauty
DG Some becomes ordinary
B7Em Mountains, and canyons, and prairies
AmD Sunset over Chesapeake Bay
GC Dear, dear Carla
DG It's only that I'm askin'
B7Em Make time more easy for the passin'
AmD If I knew I would see you again
 
G Of all the beauty that I see
F Out this window to the left of me
EmCm The thought of you it shines
GCC/BAmDG The band plays on, I keep the time
CC/B AmDG The time is marked, between the lines
C C/B AmDG Hmmm... I keep the time
