CAR WHEELS IN A GRAVEL ROAD (Lucinda Williams)
----------------------------------------------
[Actually in F#; capo 2. Each chord is half of a 4/4 measure.]
[The chords I've written as Asus4 (in the chorus) might actually be
D/A or D(9)/A. It's a fine line...]
[This song might actually be played in D with a capo on 4. To play it
that way, just bring all of these chords down a whole step.]

[intro]
E Bm E Bm E Bm D A
Sittin' in the kitchen, my house in Macon; Loretta's singing on the radio
E Bm D A E Bm D A
Smell of coffee, eggs, and bacon; Car wheels on a gravel road
E Bm E Bm E Bm D A
Pull the curtains back and look outside; Somebody somewhere I dunno
E Bm D A E Bm D A
Come on now child we're gonna go for a ride; Car wheels on a gravel road
Asus4 Asus4 A A Asus4 Asus4 A A
Car wheels on a gravel road; Car wheels on a gravel road

[instrumental]
Can't find a damn thing in this place; Nothing's where I left it before
Set of keys and a dusty suitcase; Car wheels on a gravel road
There goes the screen door slamming shut; You better do what you're told
When I get back this room better be picked up; Car wheels on a gravel road
Car wheels on a gravel road; Car wheels on a gravel road
Low hum of voices in the front seat; Stories nobody knows
Got folks in Jackson we're going to meet; Car wheels on a gravel road
Cotton fields stretching miles and miles; Hank's voice on the radio
Telephone poles trees and wires fly on by; Car wheels on a gravel road
Car wheels on a gravel road; Car wheels on a gravel road
Broken down shacks, engine parts; Could tell a lie, but my heart would know
Listen to the dogs barkin' in the yard; Car wheels on a gravel road
Child in the backseat about four or five years; Lookin' out the window
Little bit of dirt mixed with tears; Car wheels on a gravel road
Car wheels on a gravel road; Car wheels on a gravel road
Car wheels on a gravel road; Car wheels on a gravel road
