| G | D | |
| There's a | curve in the highway, just south of town |
| Em | C | |
| Where our m | atters roll over (?), could've figured | I'd found (?) |
| G | D | |
| With only h | is conscience, and a lonesome soun | d |
| C | |
| And Jesus wi | nding up creek (?) |
| G | D | |
| Got a wife a | nd two kids, bringing up his son ( | ?) |
| Em | C | |
| Got a woman | down in Charleston, and she's starting | to show |
| G | D | |
| And he's dam | ned if he leaves her, and he's sure damne | d if he don't |
| C | |
| And he wonde | rs how his life got this way.... |
| CHORUS: |
| D | G | C | D | |
| Cause it's a fine li | ne i | nbetween | right and wrong |
| G | C | D | |
| Yeah you've been crossi | n' over that border way too long |
| Em | D | G | |
| He should've | seen it comin' at him right from the | start |
| C | D | G | |
| Now there ai | n't no escape from a broken heart |
| C | D | G | |
| VERSE 2: |
| G | D | |
| And a call | from the highway is a powerful thing |
| Em | C | |
| Like a pullo | ver lover, or a child in a swing |
| G | D | |
| And he's tal | kin' to her, only one way to explain |
| C | |
| And there bot | h gonna have his babies now |
| G | D | |
| So ho | w do you confess what words | won't explain? |
| Em | C | |
| He n | ever intended to cause this | much pain |
| G | D | |
| And | I feel like a farmer who's bee | n prayin' for the rain |
| C | |
| Got | more than he bargained from the clouds.... |
| REPEAT CHORUS |
| BRIDGE: |
| Bm | C | |
| He'll turn his car around tonight, go home and try | to face the truth |
| Am | G | D | |
| Everyone involved's | gettin' hurt and there ain't n | othing he can do |
| D | |
| no no no |
| (i use to know the guitar solo but I forgot how to play it and I'm too lazy |
| to figure it out again, but here are the chords to it in the same pattern as |
| the chorus) |
| D | G | C | D | G | C | D | Em | D | G | |

| C | D | G | |
| Okay, that's the song. Maybe someday I'll come back and put in the guitar |
| solo, but not any time soon. If you have any questions, email is good |
