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
