Dm                Am
Well, I'm drivin' onward
Dm                   Am
Through the pourin' rain
Dm                Am
There's a ticket waitin'
A#                   Am
I gotta catch that train

The yellow racin' dreamboat
On California air
Single engine cowboy
Out in county fair

Chorus:
    Fmaj7  Em7
So, oh baby,  hurry here to me
Fmaj7         Em7
Oh baby, come see me
Fmaj7    Em7
Oh baby, let the hours flee
Fmaj7    Em7
Oh baby, come see

The silver clouds in August
Lover's names on trees
Imagine running water
You wadin' in knee deep

Chorus

C         A#maj7
There's a world waitin'
C                 A#maj7
Just for you to unfold
Am7            Gm7
How are you to know
             Am7               Dsus4 Dm Am
If you don't see, if you don't see

Those yellow racin' dreamboats
On California air
There's a ticket waitin'
I guess I'll catch you there
I guess I'll catch you there

Chorus

                    Fmaj7   Em7
(If you don't come) Oh baby,
hurry here to me
Fmaj7    Em7
Oh baby, come see me
                    Fmaj7    Em7
(If you don't come) Oh baby, let the hours flee
Fmaj7    Em7
Oh baby, come see

                    Fmaj7    Em7
(If you don't come) Oh baby, hurry here to me
Fmaj7    Em7
Oh baby, come see me
                    Fmaj7    Em7
(If you don't come) Oh baby, let the hours flee
Fmaj7    Em7
Oh baby, come see

                    Fmaj7  Em7
(If you don't come)
