Verse 1
C
Desiree rides the highway
Am
like tomorrow's the end of the race
G
With men in her rearview,
C
like roadkill with grins on their face
And the road is an old friend with curves
Am
that she knows she can take
G
And the wind whips her face like
a hot shower after a mistake
C
F
She says, "Love is for being
C
reborn or for waiting to die"
G
She hadn't touched it in years - - she still

remembers the tears

Verse 2
C
Tennee was named for a place
Am
he still never has seen
G
Where the tops are all rocky and the
C
pastures a little more green
And where his Mama was born and returned
Am
to when Tennee was four
G
At daybreak one morning with a
kiss and a note on the door
C
F
It said, "I'm sorry for going,
C
but the sky's just too big for me here
My heart's buried in snow,
G
and I'm dying for home"

Verse 3
C
Tennee grew fast and grew strong
Am
and grew hungry and mean
G
With his Pa in Montana where the milk
C
and the honey was weened
And he grew without guidance from
Am
home or from heaven above
G
And he drifted towards danger and
C
towards strangers who might fill him with love
F
But the edge got too narrow til it
C
dropped like the blade of his knife
Ironic enough,
G
the judge said "sentenced to life"
C

Verse 4
C
Desiree left from Westby,
Am
she'd been there as long as she dared
G
A week and a half,
C
and til the man with the strong fingers cared
She was doin 'bout sixty when a letter
Am
flew up from the floor
G
She read it, and sped up,
and tossed it for the wind to endure
C
F
It said, "Darlin I love you,
and darlin I'm with you
C
F
Though I know I won't see you again
C
I'll think of you often,
G
remember you dearly
F
G
And I hope you find peace in the

end"

Verse 5
C
Tennee liked the roadwork cause
Am
the air always struck him as free
G
And his vision could drift from the ground
C
where the guards said to be
And though the crew was always changing,
Am
they were family if just for a time
G
Cause there's nothing like capture for a man
C
G
C
to release what's inside
F
And while Tennee was dreamin,
C
his cellmate pulled a note from the weeds
And with a gulp and a glance,
G
he slipped it into his pants
C

Verse 6
C
When they got back for lockdown,
Am
Tennee's cellmate pulled a slip from the bars
G
He said "I guess while we's out there,
C
this letter has come from your ma"
Tennee was shakin, he sat back,
Am
said "Read it to me - -
G
School was never my thing,
C
and my eyes are too tired to see"
F
It said, "Darlin I love you,
and darlin I'm with you
C
F
Though I know I won't see you again
C
I'll think of you often,
G
re member you dearly
F
And I hope you find peace in the end"

Verse 7
C
Tennee was up as the
Am
sun first rustled the leaves
G
Cause there ain't never knowing just
C
the first light and the faith to believe
Peace of mind ain't security,
Am
it's learning to face the mistakes
G
It's still unsettling to wonder, in jail,
C
who'll be there when you wake
F
You know scars don't heal pretty but
C
forgiveness can soften their pain
G
Like a kiss on the head,
Outro 1
from a ghost left for dead.
