Cm
You packed your things in a carpetbag
Gm
Left and never looking back
G#
Rings on your fingers, paint on your toes
Fm                 A#
Music wherever you go
 Cm
You don't fit in a smalltown world
      Gm
But I feel you're the girl for me
G#
Rings on your fingers, paint on your toes
        Fm                        A#
You're leaving town where nobody knows

Chorus:
        Cm
You can win if you want
If you want it, you will win
        Fm
On your way you will see that life
is more than fantasy
        A#
Take my hand, follow me
                                           Cm
Oh, you've got a brand new friend for your life
        Cm
You can win if you want
If you want it you will win
         Fm
Oh, come on, take a chance for
a brand new wild romance
         A#
Take my hand for the night
                                          Cm
And your feelings will be right, hold me tight

Oh, darkness finds you on your own
Endless highways keep on rolling on
You're miles and miles from your home
But you never want to phone your home
A steady job and a nice young man
Your parents had your future planned
Rings on your finger, paint on your toes
That's the way your story goes

Chorus
