Out Where The Bright Lights Are Glowing

I was only eighteen in a ducktail and jeans when he had to go

                 G7                        F                 G7
We spent so many nights me and Jim and the lights from my radio

F       G7          F              C
I never knew him or once shook his hand

F                            G7
But sometimes I think he was my closest friend


      F           G7          C
I can stand at my window some nights

       F             G7            C
With a soft southern breeze gently blowing

  F           G7              C           Am
I know deep inside he’s still shining somewhere

F             G7                C
Out where the bright lights are glowing


                 G7            F                         C
When love let me down Jim was around to share those four walls

                  G7              F                   G7
But then he went away one fateful day and saddened us all

F                 G7        F           C
The headline that morning I remember it yet

F                   G7
He’ll never be that easy to forget


      F           G7          C
I can stand at my window some nights

       F             G7            C
With a soft southern breeze gently blowing

  F           G7              C           Am
I know deep inside he’s still shining somewhere

F             G7                C
Out where the bright lights are glowing


F             G7                C
Out where the bright lights are glowing
