D
Where the steeples and the skyways meet
Through the lonely and deserted streets
A G D
I’ve been wandering my way back home
To the girl with the secret smile
A
That holds my heart a million miles away
G
Wherever I roam
[Chorus]
G D
Praying for the bright headlights coming over the hill
I’ll never go away again I swear
G D
It’s turning darker with the passing time but I’ll be here still
I hope you’re not asleep when I get there
A D
I’m a night owl waiting for you
[Verse]
D
County lines and water towers
I’m making ground burning daylight hours
D G D
Getting lost in rolling fields and pastures
But as the stars begin to fall
I find myself trying to count them all
A G D
And wish on one to get me there faster
D
[Chorus]
G D
Praying for the bright headlights coming over the hill
I’ll never go away again I swear
G D
It’s turning darker with the passing time but I’ll be here still
I hope you’re not asleep when I get there
A D
I’m a night owl waiting for you
[Bridge]
A
Hurry up, hurry up
D
Before the morning
A
I’ll be staying up, staying up
D D7
Dreaming of you
[Chorus]
G D
Praying for the bright headlights coming over the hill
I’ll never go away again I swear
G D
It’s turning darker with the passing time but I’ll be here still
I hope you’re not asleep when I get there
A D
I’m a night owl waiting for you
