Verse 2
G 
Don't  (G major) worry where we're going
Em 
Just drive till you feel  (E minor) right
C 
We  (C major) don't need a road map
G 
to get us out  (G major) of sight
We'll start looking for a place
Em 
where we can settle  (E minor) down
C 
But  (C major) right now do us a favor,
G 
get us out of  (G major) town
Drive the saw machine
Em 
like it's been entered in a  (E minor) race
C 
Don't  (C major) slow it down
G 
until you see a smile across my  (G major) face
I can tell we didn't belong here
Em 
without having to be  (E minor) told
C 
This  (C major) old place ain't home,
G 
it's just a stop in the  (G major) road

you're on the  (G major) outside looking in

Oh, I  (C major) wouldn't want to be caught here

and  (G major) find I'm getting old
C 
This  (C major) old place ain't home,
G 
it's just a stop in the  (G major) road
