Three Chords and the Truth Lyrics


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 usI turned on the radio and a voice came over sweet and low
And I didn't know the tears were gonna start
What amazed me even more is I'd never heard that song before
But somehow I knew each word by heartAnd 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 mind with three chords and the truthFound 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 the radioAnd 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 mind with three chords and the truthOh just when I thought I was over you
He changed my mind with three chords and the truth
He changed my mind with three chords and the truth

Enjoy the lyrics !!!
