[Verse]
Bm A G D/F#
I spent last night in the arms of a girl in Louisiana
A D G A
And though I'm out on the highway, my thoughts are still with her
Bm A G D/F#
Such a strange combination of a woman and a child
A D G A
Such a strange situation, stoppin' every hundred miles

Bm A G D/F#
A replay of last night's events roll through my mind
A D G A
Except a scene or two, erased by sweet red wine
Bm A G D/F#
And I see a truck stop sign ahead so I change lanes
A D G A
I need a cup of coffee and a cup o' loose change
