Chorus:
D G D
The bright lights are calling me
D G
The bright lights are calling me
D Bm
When the world is dark and cold and
G D
I'm heading down the road
D A D
The bright lights are calling me
D
As the world is round, the road is long,
G A
I've trouble on my mind
D G Bm
I'll just keep on moving 'til the day comes 'round
G A D
Wind a blowing on my back and my feet a flying
G A
Flying down the road where the bright lights shine
Monday's in a pig town, Tuesday's in a truck
Wednesday's a field of mud and
Thursday's out of luck
Friday's a rain cloud, Saturday flies by
Sunday comes shining from a blue, blue sky
Chorus
Some towns are golden, some towns are stained
Some towns are shadows fading in the rain
Some towns are rust and some towns, they gleam
Some towns are mad dogs, some towns are a dream
Chorus
Some dreams are hollow, some dreams are cold
Some dreams are crazy and some dreams are bold
Some dreams are bought and other dreams are sold
Some dreams lie waiting at the end of the road
Chorus
Chorus:
I said the bright lights are calling me
The bright lights are calling me
When the world is dark and cold and
I'm heading down the road
The bright lights are calling me
