[INTRO]
[E] [F#m] [A] [E] [F#m] [A] [B]
[VERSE 1]
[E]I used to hate all my dad's old outlaw country bands
[A]He'd play me when I was young [B]
[E]'Cause they'd lie through their teeth about the lives they lead
[A]When all I wanted were honest songs[B]
[A]But now they're anthems in the van
And we're screaming them out on the hi[C#m]ghway
[B]For good luck
[A]In the bright blistering sun
[CHORUS]
[E]Runnin' t[F#m]oward the li[A]ght
[B]On the shoulder of a dream
[E]I'm singin[F#m]g in my sl[A]eep
[E]Runnin' t[F#m]oward the l[A]ight
[B]I stagger through the streets
[E]I sing i[F#m]t in my s[A]leep
[C#m] [B]
[VERSE 2]
C[E]ream fights through truck-stop coffee here in the quiet purple da[B]wn
L[E]ast night we played another highway bar, for the first time they sang along
S[A]pray paint a '20' up on the over pass
L[C#m]ike a blood pact for the drif[B]ters we've beco[A]me
In the soft burgeoning sun
[CHORUS]
[E]Runnin' t[F#m]oward the li[A]ght
[B]On the shoulder of a dream
[E]I'm singin[F#m]g in my sl[A]eep
[E]Runnin' t[F#m]oward the l[A]ight
[B]I stagger through the streets
[E]I sing i[F#m]t in my s[A]leep
[BRIDGE]
T[B]his is for R[C#m]osa, and Catherine
And [B]Mom and Dad
And [A]this is for Robert, and Jesse
And [B]the Thunderbird staff
I'm [E]going to make you proud of me
I'm [B]going to make you proud of me
I'm [A]going to make you proud of me
