Verse 1:
G          C              G
Looking at life through a windshield
           C                       G
They say, "Oh, the places you must see"
         C
But it's been an all-nighter
        G
And the sun's getting brighter
      A                         D
Gotta make it to the load-in by three
         G            C           G
We see a whole lot of gas station bathrooms
      C                  G
And a whole lot of hotel pools
        C
Putting miles on our boots
         G      Em
We ain't got no roots
             A              D       G
We're just a bunch of honky tonkin' fools

Chorus:
G                         C         G
Hey, but that's life in a traveling band
       C             G
And it made me who I am
C
Home's where my hat is
G
Anywhere that is
A                   D
All over this great land
          C
I've seen miles and miles of highways
            G                         E
Still, I gotta chase it while I still can
              G
But that's my life
A            D         G
Playing in a traveling band


Verse 2:
G                     C          G
I could use a night's rest in my own bed
          C               G
But I'm a thousand miles away
      C                 G
And I miss my dog and I miss my woman
    A7              D
But we got shows to play
        G             C          G
And I'm wishing I was fishing on Cherokee Lake
        C                           G
Jigging spoons off the Church House point
          C
But we're somewhere in the desert
      G         Em
Doing 80 on the highway
A            D          G
Headed for a honky tonk joint


Chorus:
G                         C         G
Hey, but that's life in a traveling band
       C             G
And it made me who I am
C
Home's where my hat is
G
Anywhere that is
A                   D
All over this great land
          C
I've seen miles and miles of highways
            G                         E
Still, I gotta chase it while I still can
              G
But that's my life
A            D         G
Playing in a traveling band


Verse 3:
G
Well, the tour's winding down in a few days
      C                  G
Going home for to see my kin
C                          G
Try to get caught up on my shut eye
      A                   D
And improve the shape I'm in
           G           C          G
Well, this stop and go life ain't easy
           C                          G
Well, it's hard on your mind and your health
    C                             G       Em
But playing country music's how I make my livin'
        A                 D         G
And the bills ain't gonna pay their self


Chorus:
G                         C         G
Hey, but that's life in a traveling band
       C             G
And it made me who I am
C
Home's where my hat is
G
Anywhere that is
A                   D
All over this great land
          C
I've seen miles and miles of highways
            G                         E
Still, I gotta chase it while I still can
              G
But that's my life
A            D         G
Playing in a traveling band


Outro:
C                   G
Well, but that's my life
A            D         G
Playing in a traveling band
E                 G
Ah, but that's my life
A            D         G
Playing in a traveling band
