Verse 1: 
 
G 
Just a dot on a road map 
D 
Nowhere is where we're at 
E   
My daddy worked nearly all his life 
        C 
Just to get here, imagine that 
G 
I love you baby and I always will 
    D 
But please make no mistake 
         E   
Watchin' paint dry on a Friday night 
          C                    D  
Is just a little bit more than I can take 
 
 
Chorus: 
G 
I need a fast horse 
D 
I'll take a slow train 
E              C       
Gimme a window seat on an airplane

I need a ticket somewhere 
                   E   D C 
And it needs to be far away

They say a wild heart

Will get you so far 
E                     C                        E   D C             
And I'm thinkin' that you need a head start

G 
Tick-tock of the town clock 
      D 
Never slows down and it don't stop 
E   
You only get one time around 
            C 
And there's no time for a second thought 
G 
If you're gonna keep up with somebody like me 
      D 
Who's way past thinkin' that it's time to leave 
E   
You wait around I'll be gone 
       C                 D 
On the first thing I get my hands on
