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

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

Chorus:
Am  F      C
Ooh, and I don’t know where I’m headed
Am  C      G
Ooh, and I don’t know where it ends

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

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

Chorus:
Am  F      C
Ooh, and I don’t know where I’m headed
Am  C      G
Ooh, and I don’t know where it ends

Instrumental:
Am  G   C
Am  G   F

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