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
