Intro:
C majorC  A minorAm
C majorC  A minorAm  G+G

Verse 1:
  C majorC
I grew where I was planted
      C majorC
But I never felt at home
   FF
My head was filled with questions
                         C majorC
And my feet they long to roam
   C majorC
My arms reached out like branches
       C majorC                   A minorAm
But my heart just couldn’t stay
  C majorC
I left the moment that I could
  G+G               C majorC      A minorAm  G+G   FF
a prisoner of the highway


Verse 2:
  C majorC
I passed by farms and trailers
   C majorC
As I drove through little towns
  FF
I found trouble in the city
                        C majorC
I never set my suitcase down
    C majorC
And in those empty alleys
                        A minorAm
Where retaining walls decay
C majorC
I just kept on moving
     G+G               C majorC
as a prisoner of the highway

Chorus:
A minorAm  FF      C majorC
Ooh, and I don’t know where I’m headed
A minorAm  C majorC      G+G
Ooh, and I don’t know where it ends


Verse 3:
          C majorC
Well, the wind, it felt like freedom
   C majorC
As it whipped through my hair
      FF
I was everywhere and everyone
      FF          C majorC
I was nobody and nowhere
        C majorC
Oh, the map was written on my hand
          A minorAm
and in my DNA
     C majorC
I believe that I was meant to be
  G+G               C majorC     A minorAm  G+G  FF
a prisoner of the highway


Verse 4:
    C majorC
Had chains around my ankles
C majorC
Handcuffs on my wrists
      FF
I was haunted by decisions
                    C majorC
And simple things I missed
     C majorC
Dear God, why do I wander?
                A minorAm
Was I born this way?
      C majorC
And I prayed he would release me
     G+G               C majorC
as a prisoner of the highway


Chorus:
A minorAm  FF      C majorC
Ooh, and I don’t know where I’m headed
A minorAm  C majorC      G+G
Ooh, and I don’t know where it ends


Instrumental:
A minorAm  G+G   C majorC
A minorAm  G+G   FF


Verse 5:
  C majorC
I sacrificed my family
C majorC
Sacrificed true love
  FF
I sacrificed my unborn child
                   C majorC
to the heavens up above
          C majorC
Oh, there was not a limit
                   A minorAm
To those I would betray
C majorC
I was deep down in it
     G+G               C majorC
as a prisoner of the highway
FF             C majorC
I just kept a-moving
     G+G               FF         C majorC
as a prisoner of the highway
