Midnight moon just stay with me
G

Like a lighthouse in the sky

And let these eighteen wheels fly

I woke up this morning in a Motel

Brokenhearted, I'm gonna drive through
the night
C
G
C
Down the open road
I asked her where we stood
She said Johnny this ain't no good
You made the highway your home
And I'm just tired of living alone
So you go your way, and I'll go mine
And maybe one day, you'll find what
you're looking for
Down the open road

I've been down this road many time

And lately I feel a little crazy too
A

Yes I do ma'am, yes I do

Got a double sleeper, I'm hell on

Come on sweet thing, show me how love

Somewhere down the open
A
road
She don't
break down, she don't run cold
D
She's heart and
soul like a pot of gold

She sees the white
lines when I'm driving blind
D

A hundred more
miles and she's right on time

Right on time

She's right on
time, right on time (Down the open road)
