Three Chords and the Truth

On a highway bound for nowhere

I ran my fingers through my tangled hair

As I pulled in for another tank of freedom

With a hundred miles behind me

And a million more to go

I was tryin' to put some distance between us

I turned on the radio

And a voice came over sweet and low

And I didn't know the tears were gonna start

But what amazed me even more

Is I'd never heard that song before

But somehow I knew each word by heart

And I don't know why, I don't know how

But with his song he turned my life and

This old car around

Just when I thought I was over you

He changed my life with three chords and the truth

Found a pay phone at a truck stop

Said a prayer as the quarter dropped

Oh, please be home, I know that I was wrong

Honey, don't talk, just listen

I think I found what I was missin'

In a song I heard tonight on a radio

And I don't know why, I don't know how

But with his song he turned my life and

This old car around

Just when I thought I was over you

He changed my life with three chords and the truth

Just when I thought I was over you

He changed my mind with three chords and the truth
