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
