[Verse]
A        Dm/A                   A     
Sister, I'm heading out of Alabama
       Dm/A              A
So you better think fast.
    Dm/A                       A
The wind is gonna pick me up now
        Dm/A             A
And the rain won't slack.

A        Dm/A                   
I'm headed down to Georgia

A        Dm/A                   
So don't lose track
A        Dm/A  
Of where you been and where you're going now,
A        Dm/A  
Who you've seen and what they lack,
A        Dm/A  
And why you come undone, every time you go there,
            Dm/A     C/G     Bb/F
You come undone.

[Chorus]
Dm/A                     C/G
I know your heart's in danger
     Bb/F
And so is your life.
           Dm/A               C/G
I said you learn to trust a stranger,
 Bb/F
Stop and rest for the night.
         Dm/A             C/G
Set your site up in the headlight
    Bb/F 
The moon won't be enough.
            Dm/A      C/G
Light the embers of another
        Bb/F
And the night won't seem so rough,
      Dm/A      C/G     Bb/F
Sister.

[Verse]
A          Dm/A  
There was a bloody beast of burden
A        Dm/A  
On a dark Texas road,
A        Dm/A  
A woman in the family way
A        Dm/A  
And a car that lost control.
A        Dm/A  
Now I'm studying the distance
A        Dm/A  
Between the blanket and the gun,
A        Dm/A                               Dm/A     C/G     Bb/F
I got ten miles to Natchez and another ten home.

[Chorus]
Dm/A                     C/G
I know your heart's in danger
     Bb/F
And so is your life.
           Dm/A               C/G
I said you learn to trust a stranger,
 Bb/F
Stop and rest for the night.
         Dm/A             C/G
Set your site up in the headlight
    Bb/F 
The moon won't be enough.
            Dm/A      C/G
Light the embers of another
        Bb/F
And the night won't seem so rough,
      Dm/A      C/G     Bb/F
Sister.

[Outro]
A        Dm/A 
I said it's trust that brought me here
A        Dm/A 
And trust will bring me home
