Verse 1:
   FF                   Bb majorBb
I was born in the country and raised in the town
       FF   C majorC     DmDm
I spent every Sunday wandering around
 FF                    Bb majorBb
I raised lots of cane till my momma would cry
       FF            DmDm
She prayed my harvest would wither and die
Bb majorBb          C majorC     FF
Wither and die, Lord, wither and die


Chorus:
   Bb majorBb                     FF
These slow-going highways and red-running river I choose
  Bb majorBb                    FF
The song of a siren, the rhythm of nothing to lose
   C majorC               Bb majorBb           FF
Every step off the front porch is a step into rocking chair blues

Verse 2:
 FF                  Bb majorBb
I went down to Oxford to find me some blues
       FF    C majorC      DmDm
I measure the miles by holes in my shoes
  FF                 Bb majorBb
I listen for autumn and followed the sound
       FF             DmDm
And left off the things that fell to the ground
Bb majorBb            C majorC      FF
Fell to the ground, Lord, fell to the ground


Chorus:
   Bb majorBb                     FF
These slow-going highways and red-running river I choose
  Bb majorBb                    FF
The song of a siren, the rhythm of nothing to lose
   C majorC               Bb majorBb           FF
Every step off the front porch is a step into rocking chair blues

Instrumental:

Verse 3:
Gm7Gm7                 FF
If I wandered away would you call me back?
    G+G     C majorC
'Cause I'm already gone
G minorGm                 G+G    C minorCm
I'm drifting astray and humming the highway song
   FF                   Bb majorBb
I was born in the country and raised in the town
       FF   C majorC     DmDm
I spent every Sunday wandering around
Bb majorBb           C majorC     FF
Wandering around, Lord, wandering around
