I caught her face in horizon clouds, soak up the smoke from her last goodbye
C G D
But I can't feel pain cause there's no one to blame
C G D G
Averly was always meant to be free, when she left she thought it best to take some company
C G D
That's when she broke my chains and we took off
C G
They never knew we were gone till the dawn cried
G F C
Hey Hey, Averly
G F C
Ain't it 'bout time to see
G F C D
Where you need to be tonight
G F C
If you've got the mind to spare
G F C G
Send it to the ones who care about you
G F C D
Don't waste your breath on running alone
C G C G C
Just bring it on home sweet Averly Jane
Walkin' down these ol' graveled tracks, cause I lost her at the Great Divide
I got my sweat-stained sleeve to wipe my brow dry
every footprint is caked in rust, while my boots are shining rails I fight the rising dust
Then I feel her face up in the sunrise
They never knew we were gone till the dawn cried
Chorus
Bridge:
D C G
And if you feel the highway scream beneath your feet
D C G
Just take a look around and remember what you see
C G C G
Cause you might find a friend you know, burning through the morning cold
C G D
To help you find your way back home through the misty haze
C G
Hope to see you down again Averly Jane
I caught the glare of a passerby, just a sittin' on the side of the street
He wore his heart on his sleeve, just to watch it bleed
He said, "Son, you look a lot like myself, if I was you I'd put my dreams back on the shelf."
I said, "When I come home, I won't be alone
I won't be sittin' on the side of the road while the sun cries."
Chorus
