TAKING FLIGHT
As recorded by Rodney Crowell feat. Ashley McBryde
(2025 release)
[Intro]
G
[Verse 1]
G F
We were somewhere east of Hattiesburg
C G
On a lonely stretch of nightmare
F G
Gas gauge screaming empty, headlights in a fog
F C G
Two refugees from Greenville in line to wind up roadkill
F G
With a parakeet named Chester and a one-eyed spotted dog
[Verse 2]
G F C G
We'd been plowing through each day like so much Mississippi red dirt
F G
Burning with no purpose save get out while we still can
F C G
Hell bent past the point of no return and going nowhere
F G
With the best of good intentions, one more line drawn in the sand
[Chorus]
C Em7 C G
Taking flight, forget about tomorrow
C Em7 C G
Wrong or right, the chips are gonna fall
C Em7 C G
Taking flight, going nowhere 'til we get there
F G
Next time Hell starts freezing over, we'll be sure to give a call
[Guitar Solo]
G C
[Verse 3]
Bb F C
So we got our education from a backwoods country station
Bb C
Proof that there's a world out there came wrapped up in a song
Bb F C
Riding high on one wing and a foxhole prayer might get you there
Bb C
But ten won't get you twenty if you bet your money wrong
