Prayer for the Road

GDECadd9 Cadd9 G D Em I found it outside of Birmingham headed to another place Cadd9 G D G Took me five hundred miles to get to the bottom of my suitcase Cadd9 G D Em It was in between a pair of jeans and my old black winter coat Cadd9 G D G It took my breath away when I read what she wrote G D May the wheels keep turning, get you where you need to go Em Cadd9 I'll keep the porch light burning 'til you get back home G D May the angels fly beside you, down every mile you roll Em Cadd9 May heaven hear this prayer, prayer for the road GDECadd9 Cadd9 G D Em As much as she misses me, she found the words to write Cadd9 G D G Enough to keep me warm on a cold December night Cadd9 G D Em And when I'm running on empty and I'm feeling lost Cadd9 G D G I can hear her voice, whispering to God G D May the wheels keep turning, get you where you need to go Em Cadd9 I'll keep the porch light burning 'til you get back home G D May the angels fly beside you, down every mile you roll Em Cadd9 May heaven hear this prayer, prayer for the road GDECadd9 Cadd9 G D Em Must have read that note at least a thousand times Am Cadd9 D It always takes me where the highway meets the sky G D May the wheels keep turning, get you where you need to go Em Cadd9 I'll keep the porch light burning 'til you get back home G D May the angels fly beside you, down every mile you roll Em Cadd9 May heaven hear this prayer, prayer for the road G D Em Cadd9 (X5 to the end)
