    Verse 1
    Bringing 
    me down, 

    I'm 
    running 
    aground 

    Blind 
    in 
    the 
    light of 
    the 
    interstate 
    cars 

    Passing 
    me 
    by, 

    the 
    buses 
    and 
    semis 

    Plunging 
    like 
    stone
    s from 

    a 
    slingshot 
    on 
    ice 

    But 
    I'm 
    here by 
    the 
    road, 

    bound 
    to 
    the 
    load 

    That 
    I 
    picked 
    up in 
    ten thousand 

    cafes 
    and 
    bars 

    Along 
    with 
    the 
    rush of 
    the drivers 

    that 
    won't pick 
    me 
    up

    The 
    highway, 
    the blue, 

    the 
    clouds, 
    the 
    stars 

    The 
    black 
    -blooded 
    wind 
    keep

    s 
    on 
    pouring 
    in 

    With 
    its 
    words 
    of a 
    life where 

    noth
    ing 
    is 
    new 

    I'm 

    Mother 

    Americ
    an, 
    I'm 
    lost 
    from 
    the 
    light 

    How 
    I'm 
    drowning 
    in 
    you 

    I 
    left 

    St. 

    Louis, 
    the city 
    of blues 

    In 
    the midst 
    of a 
    storm, 
    I'd 
    rather 
    for
    get 

    I 
    tried to 
    pretend 
    it 
    came 
    to an 
    end 

    You 
    weren't 
    the 
    woman 

    I once 
    thought 
    I'd 
    met 

    But 
    I can't 
    deny 
    the 
    times 

    I've 
    gone 
    by 

    When 
    I 
    never 
    had 
    doubts 
    or 

    thoughts 
    of 
    re
    gret 

    And 
    I was 
    a 
    man 
    when 
    all 
    this began 

    Who 
    wouldn't 
    think twice 

    about 
    being 
    there 
    yet 

    Black 
    -blooded 
    wind, 
    whisperin' 
    sin 

    And 
    speaking 
    of life 
    that passes 

    like 
    wood 

    You've 
    done 
    bet
    ter 
    by 
    me, 

    bet
    ter 
    by 
    me than 
    I've 
    done 
    by 
    you. 

    Now 
    what's 
    to be 
    found 

    from 
    racing 
    around 

    You're 
    carrying 
    your 

    pain 
    wherever 
    you 
    go 

    Full 
    of 
    the blues 
    and 
    trying 
    to 
    lose 

    You 
    ain't 
    gonna learn 
    what 

    you don't 
    want 
    to 
    know 

    So 
    I 
    give you 
    my 
    eyes 
    an

    d 
    all 
    of 
    their 
    lies 

    Please 
    tell 
    them to 
    love 
    as 
    well 
    as to 
    see 

    And 
    capture 
    a 
    glance, 
    oh, 

    and make 
    a 
    dance 

    Of 
    looking 
    at you, 
    looking 
    at 
    me 

    A 
    black 
    -throated 
    wind 
    keep

    s 
    on 
    pouring 
    in 

    With 
    its 
    words 
    of a 
    lie that 

    could al
    most 
    be 
    true 

    I'm 

    Mother 

    Americ
    an 
    now, 
    here 
    comes 
    the 
    light 

    I'm 
    turning 
    around, 

    that's 
    what I'm 
    gonna do 

    Goin' 
    back 
    home, 

    that's what I'm 
    gonna 
    do 

    Turnin' 
    around, 

    that's 
    what I'm 
    gonna 
    do 

    Goin' 
    back 
    home, 

    that's what I'm 
    gonna do 

    If 
    you don't 
    have a 
    better 
    body 

    than 
    I 
    do 


    I'm 
    going 
    back 
    home, 

    that's what I'm 
    gonna do

      Best Tuning App Ever

      MaddProfessor

      "

      I’ve downloaded many tuning apps before and this one is by far the best. Easy to use, super user-friendly, and they have a bunch of fun different chords and songs to help you learn new music. I highly recommend.

      Well-Designed App

      I mostly use this for tuning my guitar, which this app makes ridiculously easy. It also has a large selection of songs to play along to and it helps show you which chords to play as well how to make the shapes with your fingers.

      Got me back into playing

      I got this app to tune an old guitar, and noticed it has a feature that autoscrolls as I play chords to famous songs. For some reason, this was a lot more motivating for me than any other way of practicing guitar. Now I'm actually practicing and remembering the names of chords 🙂

      Not only is it a tuner (best app tuner I've used personally) but it also has a metronome, games, chords, and a plethora of instruments to choose from and it's SUPER easy to navigate. I love it! Thanks for making an awesome app. From one musician to another, THANKS!!!

      This is the best guitar tuner ever.

      It tunes your guitar accurately so you can get the best sound. I like all the other little games as well because they teach you how to play different chords and you can learn to identify the chords by listening to them and it is all offline.
