There were bound for glory, bound for livin' on the edge
they were bound for each other
like two comets headin' for a bed
She had a new way of livin, new way of lookin' at life
he had an '84 International and two kids
he left back home with his wife
(waylon sings-same chords)
He was tired of writing letters to himself and living in the dark She was open to suggestions and some say she had a broken heart He had everything he wanted till it all turned out to be a job One fallen asleep trucker and a girl hitchhikin' with a dog
(same as previous chorus)
There were bound for glory, bound for livin' on the edge they were bound for each other, like two comets headin' for a bed She had a new way of livin, new way of lookin' at life he had an '84 International and two kids he left back home with his wife
(Go up a full step to A)
Out on the Trans-Canada highway
the sun cam climbin' up the cab
by the time it hit the window
they were waking up from what little sleep they had
When that heat hit the blankets
They were looking for love at second sight
Just starin' in each other's eyes
findin' it in the morning light
There were bound for glory, bound for livin' on the edge
they were bound for each other,
like two blankets laying on a bed
She had a new way of livin, new way of lookin' at life
