Verse 1:
A augmentedA           D MajorD       A augmentedA
Billy built cars that never went nowhere
A augmentedA                  E MajorE
Only thing working was the dial radio
  D MajorD                  A augmentedA      D MajorD
He sat on the front seat, listening to baseball
 A augmentedA             E MajorE     A augmentedA
Dreaming 'bout places that he'll never go
A augmentedA              D MajorD       A augmentedA
He liked to ride bulls and tease all his children
A augmentedA                    E MajorE
Make up new words that meant nothing at all
D MajorD                    A augmentedA    D MajorD
Curse the stars that had left him in Natchez
A augmentedA        E MajorE      A augmentedA
Hum an old tune, cry as they fall

Chorus:
A augmentedA      D MajorD
Warm conversation
D MajorD        A augmentedA
Short term destination
A augmentedA        E MajorE
Can lead to a lifetime
E MajorE      A augmentedA
Away from home
A augmentedA        D MajorD
No plans worth making
D MajorD            A augmentedA
All the big dreams were taken
A augmentedA         E MajorE
But you leave this world
E MajorE     A augmentedA
You leave alone

BB               E MajorE         BB
Oh, the money was good on the road in the springtime
BB                     F#F#
But one look from that girl and he settled down
    E MajorE                    BB    E MajorE
And he laughed right out loud when she said Mississippi
     BB              F#F#      BB
He said "I've never been there but I like how it sounds"

But you leave this world
