[Verse 1]
      G                         A             G     A
All a lone on the road near the other side of town
       G                         A                G    A
In the dark of the night and the rain was falling down
   G                           A            G    A
Up ahead, said a sign, was the Overnight Ca fe
      C                        D
Maybe one for the road just to pass the night

Then she came in the room and she moved across the floor
         G                          A                 G     A
With the look of a woman who's been through it all be fore
         G                           A           G     A
Then she smiled as she spoke, and it made me rea lize


[Chorus]
         C                       D               Em      D
That the time was right, and the love was in her eyes
         C                       D
That the time was right, and the love was in her

    Then she asked and I told her that I was due in town
 D                                           A
    Hey mama, can you tell me what's on your mind?
 D                                             A
    Then she told me that she'd like to see me hang around
 D
    And maybe I could take her home
 E                       N.C.
   Never know what could happen when we're both

        G                        A            G     A
Now I'm back on the road and I'm running over time
       G                         A                  G     A
Turn a round if I could, and you know it crossed my mind
      G                             A           G     A
But I know I'll be back because she made me rea lize
