G D C
[Verse 1]
G D Em
Speed limit sign says 65
C
I’ve got this pedal to the floor
G D C
Wonderin if I’m gonna turn around this time
G D
900 dollars and my guitar
Em C
Is either gonna get me far
G D C
Or nowhere, but I just gotta try
[Pre-Chorus]
Em D
Man I hate I had to leave
Em
But it’s the only way I know
D
That I can silence this dream
[Chorus]
G
And it’s a long long way
D
From Interstate 10
Em C
To the bright lights of Nashville
G D C
Oh and I’m missing you
G D
Just turned north on 55
Em C
I can still see the tears rollin' down your eyes
G D C
And I know you’re missing me
Em D
And it’s a long way from Louisiana
G
To Tennessee
[Instrumental]
G D Em C
G D C
[Verse 2]
G D
Slept overnight at a buddy of mines
Em C
Keeps telling me that I’ll be fine
G D C
I wish I could convince myself
G D
I just know so many friends who made this drive
Em C
Keep coming home play the same ole dives
G D C
With nothing but a couple songs about how they failed
[Pre-Chorus]
Em D
I ain’t looking for the fortune and fame
Em D
I just want somebody to remember my name
[Chorus]
G
And it’s a long long way
D
From Interstate 10
Em C
To the bright lights of Nashville
G D C
Oh and I’m missing you
G D
Just turned north on 55
Em C
I can still see the tears rollin' down your eyes
G D C
And I know you’re missing me
Em D
And it’s a long way from Louisiana
G
To Tennessee
[Instrumental]

G D C
[Pre-Chorus]
Em D
And I hope she knows
Em D
How hard it was to let her go
[Chorus]
G
And it’s a long long way
D
From Interstate 10
Em C
To the bright lights of Nashville
G D C
Oh and I’m missing you
G D
Just turned north on 55
Em C
I can still see the tears rollin' down your eyes
G D C
And I know you’re missing me
[Chorus]
G
And it’s a long long way
D
From Interstate 10
Em C
To the bright lights of Nashville
G D C
Oh and I’m missing you
G D
Just turned north on 55
Em C
I can still see the tears rollin' down your eyes
G D C
And I know you’re missing me
Em D
And it’s a long way from Louisiana
G
To Tennessee
[Outro]
G D Em C
G D C
Oh, Tennessee
