E              D                             A                            B
Tonight, tonight, there’s nowhere else to be
You and me we’re heading south ‘til the road runs out
Out to sea
Sit back, relax, and hear the highway sing
Put your feet up on the dash
Let the radio do the talking
 
C                                             G                                             A                                             A – B – C
I want to be where the sunrise catches like the fire in your eyes, burning inside
                                                G
I want to wake up and feel you beside me
                A                                             B
Put your hand on my chest and tell me it’s all right
 
E              D       A                                   B
Hoh-oh-oh – welcome to the country
E              D       A                                                   B
Hoh-oh-oh – if you want to get livin’ you better get with me
E              D       A                                   B
Hoh-oh-oh – let’s take it to the country
C                                   G                       (N.C. G – F# – D)
And leave the city behind
 
Moonlight, high tide, sitting in the back of my truck
Me out of work and you out of college
Folks would say we’re out of luck
But I’m here and you’re here and that’s enough for us
So let’s raise a glass to the rich men runnin’ this country into the du – u - ust
 
Hoh-oh-oh – welcome to the country
Hoh-oh-oh – if you want to get livin’ you better get with me
Hoh-oh-oh – take me to the country
And leave the city behind
C                                 G
You and me we’re bound for better things
                C                                     D                     B7
But you gotta get with me toni       -         ight
 
I want to be where the sunrise catches like the fire in your eyes, burning inside
I want to wake up and feel you beside me
Put your hand on my chest and tell me it’s all right
