[Verse]
D
At a quick shop somewhere west of Albuquerque
A7
Got a tank of gas, a cold drink, and a beef jerky
D D/F# G
The cashier she gave me a smile
D A7 D
So I stood there and I talked to her awhile
[Chorus]
G D
She said "where you headed, I hope you get there soon
A7
I've seen 'em all day long, from 4 a.m. to noon
D D/F# G
Some are runnin' from, some are runnin' to
D A7 D
Some are runnin' blind, Lord, which one are you"
[Verse]
D G D
Well I said "it don't appear to me to be so cut and dried
A7
You don't know me from Adam, can it be so black and white"
D G D
I said "I got a plan you see I got it figured out
A7 D
How can you be so sure my dear of what I'm all about"
[Chorus]
G D
She said "I've stood in this window for twenty-seven years
A7
I can tell you cash or credit, I can tell your brand of beer
D D/F# G
I can tell you who's liar, and the truth is plain to see
D A7 D
That's your last twenty boy, and don't you lie to me"
[Bridge]
G D
"There's a girl in Albuquerque cryin' ain't there
G A7
And you're standin' in a quick shop lyin', ain't ya...well?"
[Verse]
D G
She handed back my twenty, said "you know what to do
D A7
If you drive it steady son you'll be home this afternoon
D D/F# G
And I hate to judge you, I don't mean to seem unkind
D A7 D
But there ain't no use in runnin' if you're only runnin' blind"
G D A7 D
Nah there ain't no use in runnin' if you're only runnin' blind
