three chords and the truth

on a highway bound for nowhere

i ran my fingers through my tangled hair

as i pulled in for another tank of freedom

with a hundred miles behind me

and a million more to go

i was tryin' to put some distance between us

i turned on the radio

and a voice came over sweet and low

and i didn't know the tears were gonna start

but what amazed me even more

is i'd never heard that song before

but somehow i knew each word by heart

and i don't know why

i don't know how

but with his song he turned my life and

this old car around

just when i thought i was over you

he changed my life with three chords and the truth

found a pay phone at a truck stop

said a prayer as the quarter dropped

oh

please be home

i know that i was wrong

honey

don't talk

just listen

i think i found what i was missin'

in a song i heard tonight on a radio

and i don't know why

i don't know how

but with his song he turned my life and

this old car around

just when i thought i was over you

he changed my life with three chords and the truth

just when i thought i was over you

he changed my mind with three chords and the truth
