C                   Am                 F                 C
There's a young man in the corner, playing crazy all night long.
C                F               G
Quarters piled high upon the table.
        C           Am       F               C
And he orders Wild Turkey with a quick wit and a smile.
   C                                Am                   G
He says "my darling, you're the one I'll drape in sable."
         C                        Am                 F              C
But his baseball cap, and his barroom rap tell me a different story
     Am       F                  G
That this is not my prince to grant all my wishes
     C                Am                    F              C
Just another lonely country boy, grown weary of the night.
     C                      Am                    G
Just another boy, with a sink full of dirty dishes.

Am                  F
And where are you tonight?
Am                     F
When I left you in my dreams last night,
    C                 G                 F
You promised me that we would be breaking free.
F          G      Am
Where are you tonight?

        C                 Am                       F                      C
And he tells me of the backroads, and I will ride them all night long.
C                                Am               G
And the days of fate and the moon will hang forever.
      C             Am            F             C
And a cloud of dust will kick up and linger like a sun.
         C                           Am            G
And the myth will grow about the two who refused to surrender.
          C                 Am
But as I catch us in the barroom mirror
         F                C
with his arm around my shoulder,
C                     Am                G
This girl I see has grown so unfamiliar.
    C                  Am             F          C
And as she stands to leave with a stranger by her side,
    C                             Am                   G
She can't help but laugh at a life turned so peculiar,

Am                  F
And where are you tonight?
Am                   F
I don't think I can face tomorrow's light,
    C           G                     Am (hold)
Not knowing if you'll be there to guide me.

Em                  F
And where are you tonight?
Em                       F
I think I can make it through all right,
        F                         Em                      Am (hold)
But I'd love to have you just one more time beside me.
