Verse 1:
E MajorE
I woke up this afternoon and looked into your eyes
E MajorE
And somethin' was as wrong as if the sun forgot to rise
A augmentedA
I picked up a road map and I checked a few good places that I know
B7B7 A7A7
And if you're no longer givin', I believe I'll hit the road and go
Verse 2:
E MajorE
I just got the feelin' that the fire was burnin' out
E MajorE
'Cause the air was turnin' colder every time you came about
A augmentedA E MajorE
And a flame won't take a fannin' if the last reserve of love is runnin' low
B7B7 A7A7
So since I've gotta button up, I believe I'll hit the road and go
Verse 3:
E MajorE
County road 6-40, State Highway 45
E MajorE
Life out of the interstate is very much alive
A augmentedA E MajorE
There's magic in the mountains and music in the valleys down below
B7B7 A7A7
And my song ain't through playin' yet so I believe I'll hit the road and go
Verse 4:
Good morning to you sunshine, good morning to you rain
E MajorE
The windshield wiper's rhythm keeps me singin' down the pain
A augmentedA
Today I'm gonna miss you less if I miss you at all
E MajorE
You'll never know, you'll never know
B7B7 A7A7
This rambler has cut all the ties and pulled up stakes to hit the road and go
B7B7 A7A7
This rambler has cut all the ties and pulled up stakes to hit the road and go
(Fade Out)
