Son Volt - Highways Cigarettes

E................
got caught up in a breakaway dream

D.................................A
destination: city of new orleans

D...................................A
cheap motels and big rig swells

E..........
crossing bridges for enternity


E.........
headed west for a two week stand

D.........................................A
saw the poets of work-a-day glasses

D.................................A
las crucixs is part of you now

E..................................D.............A
as birds sing songs of laughter


B...........
still out there with the coffee stains

A............................E
and putting miles on shoes

B............
cant escape the smell of cigarettes

A...........................D........................A
still livin out these american late night blues



Solo: E A (repeat)



western clear the mind
with the mexicali radio station
keep an eye out for the border patrol
checking for drugs and so called aliens

highways and dreams forever together
in the minds of the free and the innocents
always a future in the travelers hands
starting fires on the river and madness


chorus (2x)
