G
Hold tight
Winds are blowin'
Coldest that you've ever known
Cut through the rawhide
              F
Right to the marrow bone
G
Strap a live pig across your knees
Chew tobacco so your jaw don't freeze
                    F           G        /d - /e - /f#
It's a bitter, bad mighty mean freeze
G
Who needs to ride a train?
When we got the natural motion
That's gonna take us
                            Em
Right across the mighty plain
Look-at-that-plain
It's the flattest that you'll ever see
Whoa, woah
Hey
             C
Look at that...big sky
Look at that moon glow
Am
Lightin' up the Rockies on the way to Idaho
Em
Take out your fiddle, put your hand on the bow
        D
Rustle up a pretty tune
                             G F-G F-G F-G
Put a rhythm in your toe-ow-ow

Ray speaking:                      /d - /e - /f#
Hello, is anybody there, hello?
G
I can't explain
                                    Em
Am I letting my emotions get the better of me?
                       C       Am
You're always on my mind (ooh ooh)
                              Em                  D
But I can't tell you that I'd willingly follow you
       G
And if I can't have you
                            Em
How can I expect to have a place in your heart?
                       C       Am
But I wouldn't be so bold ooh ooh
                          Em
As to expect you to have feelings for me
     D
Oh no

Chorus:
                        D
I can't admit it to you (West to East, under the stars)
                     C        Em         D
'Cause then I would have to admit it to me (It's a thousand miles to the nearest bar)
                C       Em         D
And I wouldn't want to bother you (West to East, 'til we reach Omaha)
                     C        Em         D
'Cause then I would have to admit how much (West to East)
It's bothering me (In the land of the free)    /d - /c - /b - /a

         G
See the sun up ahead
See the moon behind (Place in your heart)
                Em
We're right on time
We're going to get there
Come rain or shine (You're always on my mind)
      C                  Am
Then Omaha city soon be over the incline
                                Em                D
(But I can't tell you that I'd willingly follow you)

(We're right on time we're going to get there come rain or shine) But I wouldn't be so bold
      C                        Am
(And Omaha city soon we'll be over the incline)
                          Em                  D

Make the most of nature's great highway
Em                               Em       D-
West to East see night turn into day
