D 
Once upon another time 
D 
Somebody's hands who felt like mine 
G 
Turned the key and took a drive 
    D 
Was free 
D 
Highway curve, the sun sank low 
D 
Buckley on the radio 
G 
Cigarette was burning slow 
   D 
So breathe 
  
     D 
Just yellow lines and tire marks 
     G 
And sun-kissed skin and handle bars 
    D                                A 
And where I stood was where I was to be 
  
   D 
No enemies to call my own 
   G 
No porch light on to pull me home 
    D 
And where I was is beautiful 
  D           A 
Because I was free 
  
D 
Once upon another time 
D 
Before I knew which life was mine 
G                              D 
Before I left the child behind me 
D 
I saw myself in summer nights 
D 
And stars lit up like candle light 
G                                D 
I make my wish but mostly I believed 
  
   D 
In yellow lines and tire marks 
G 
Sun-kissed skin and handle bars 
    D                                A 
And where I stood was where I was to be 

D 
Once upon another time 
D 
Decided nothing good in dying 
   G 
So I would just keep on driving 
D               A         D 
Because I was free
