[Verse 2]

            
It was easy to

              
 love, when we

            
 met in the gl

        
ow of a jukebo

x
             
I liked your l

              
augh as much a

              
s you liked my

 
 smile
            
Starting is ea

            
sy, but ending

            
 is just as im

patient
             
It’s the in-be

              
tween time tha

              
t stretches on

         
ward for miles

[Chorus 1]

            
But sometimes 

              
at night when 

              
wind blows fro

     
m Palo Duro
             
And the stars 

              
do a dance in 

              
the light of t

     
he western sky
            
I think I migh

              
t change my mi

         
nd about tomor

row
             
And dream you’

              
ll come back h

[Verse 3]

            
Out on the hig

            
hway, eighteen

              
 wheels in the

 
 distance
             
I’m pulling a 

              
load from Tuls

way
            
Sometimes I dr

              
ive by your ho

 Rancho
             
But I never kn

t know what to

 
 say

[Chorus 2]

            
But sometimes 

              
at night when 

              
wind blows fro

       
m Palo Duro
             
And the stars
