-Tuning: Standard
-key of G Major

2ND VERSE:    (played same as 1st Verse)

We didn't hit any weather
Or see any lightning strike
Except for a cruel north Texas wind
Our road was as smooth as ice
Full moon in Mississippi
You couldn't see it through the pines
Truck stops big as cities
Cities as dark as mines


CHORUS:       (played same as 1st Chorus)

Mobile, Alabama
There was no one on the street
So we pushed on our way toward
Satellite Beach


(For the first 12 measures of the guitar solo, Gtr2 plays Figure 1/6x)

3RD VERSE:    (played same as 1st Verse)

So we landed at Cape Canaveral
And we crashed at Satellite Beach
We got there on an off night
It lasted for a week
The casinos and the junkyards
The neon and the crime
We saw the wilds from coast to coast
Now we're watching all the time



CHORUS:       (played same as 1st Chorus)

When we get a lift-off
There won't be a speech
There's no room at the inn
At Satellite Beach
