D
That night in Des Moines
Em7
Goner'd streets dying
G
Sunset buildings
D
Cut with shade
We sent our smoke
Em7
Up through the streetlights
G
We sent our prayers out
D
Through an old P.A.
Em7
That night in Des Moines
D
That night in Des Moines
[VERSE 2:]
That night in Des Moines
Em7
Too late for supper
G
Yeah, we sat at the bar
D
And we drank three beers
And we watched the house
Em7
Filling up with no one
G
But god was listening
D
And he cupped his ear
Em7
That night in Des Moines
D
That night in Des Moines
[INSTRUMENTAL:] D Em7 G D Em7 G D
[VERSE 3:]
That night in Des Moines
Em7
Picked you up at the airport
G
I threw your rig in the back seat
D
And I shook your hand
And the heat from the asphalt
Em7
It was liquid and dancing
G
And we walked to the front door
D
Like a rock 'n' roll band
Em7
That night in Des Moines
D
That night in Des Moines
[VERSE 4:]
That night in Des Moines
Em7
We slept at your Mom's house
G
We drove east in the darkness
D
Toward a whole new day
And the lights on the big trucks
Em7
Were like gun camera tracers
G
On I-80 at midnight
D
There was nothing to say
