E F#m It?s bringing me down, I'm running aground, D A E Blind in the light of the interstate cars E F#m Passing me by, the busses and semi's, D A E Plunging like stones from a slingshot on mars

A D C#m Bm A But I'm here by the road, bound to the load Bm E That I picked up in ten thousand cafes and bars A D C#m Bm A Alone with the rush of the drivers who won't pick me up Bm E The highway, the moon, the clouds, and the stars D C#m A Black throated wind, keeps on pouring in Em C A With its words of a life where nothing is new D C#m Em A Ah, mother american night, I'm lost from the light G D A Oh, I'm drowning in you I left St. Louis, city of blues, in the midst of a storm I'd rather forget

I tried to pretend it came to an end Cause you weren't the woman I once thought I'd met But I can't deny, that times have gone by Bm Where I never had doubts or thoughts of regret And I was a man when all this began Who wouldn't think twice about being there yet Black throated wind, whispering sin And it speaks of a life that passes like dew It's forced me to see that you've done better by me Better by me than I've done by you Now what's to be found racing around. You carry your pain wherever you go All full of the blues and trying to lose You ain't gonna learn what you don't wanna know So I give you my eyes, and all of their lies Please help them to learn as well as to see Capture a glance, and make it dance Of looking at you, looking at me Black throated wind, keeps on pouring in With its words of a lie that could almost be true Ah, mother american night, here comes the light I'm turning around, that's what I'm gonna do Going back home that's what I'm gonna do
