[Intro]
G   C

[Verse 1]
      G
Every now and then,
I get to thinkin'
          C
What if I sold everything
'cause who really needs it?
       D
Get an old Wagoneer,
       C
find a day bright and clear
         D
Tell you I'm on my way,
           C
hey, let's get out of here

[Chorus]
          G
And we'll drive on for miles,
find a new favorite place
      C
Maybe out of this county,
                 G
even out of this state
      D
Buy a house on a hill
       C
with a dock on a lake
          G     Am G
And hide away (Haha)

G
Well, can't you hear it now?
Bluebirds are singin'
            C
Some little quaint downtown
where church bells are ringin'
          D
I've been fallin' apart,
           C
sure could use a new start
           D
Yeah, I'll follow the needle
     C
from your steady heart

[Chorus]
          G
And we'll drive on for miles,
find a new favorite place
      C
Maybe out of this county,
                 G
even out of this state
      D
Buy a house on a hill
       C
with a dock on a lake
          G
And hide away
