Intro:

A

Verse:
 A                                 D
First stuck our thumbs out on the over night
        E                              A
Me and Scott had our sights set on a show
 A                                   D
Carts and the kids gathered in the parking lot
         E                                  A
Found a welded truck RV to take us on the road


Chorus:

Yeah we were off to see America
 D         A                        D              E
With ten dollars and just enough luck to get us by
     D         A       D     E
Yeah we were off to see America
 D              A                               F#m     E
Thinking that life was just that easy to come by

We stole fireworks lit 'em off in parking lots
          E                              A
Rode the rails, Kerouac, made it sound cool
    A                            D
We picked up some work on a Kentucky farm
 E                               A
Barely made enough to get some fuel


Chorus:
     D         A       D     E
Yeah we were off to see America
 D         A                        D              E
With ten dollars and just enough luck to get us by

Yeah we were off to see America
 D              A                               F#m     E
Thinking that life was just that easy to come by


Verse:
     D                      A
Got broke in Cincinnati I called it too
                              D
Ate my pride and said my goodbyes
 D                             A
Never reached the west but I knew I would
                   F#m            E
Get there in good tiiiii-i-i-i-ime

A     D     E     A


Verse:
        A                                D
Yeah I still got some road left running in my blood
     E                                    A
The stage and merry life's missing some thrills
         A                                 D
But you just can't live off handouts and singer fees
 E                                A
Living half a life means paying bills

 A                                 D
Those were the days that we were really true and free
              E
And we could run away

 A                                 D
Those were the days that we were really true and free
              E
And we could run

     D         A             D            E
Yeah we were off, we were off to see America
     D         A             D            E
Yeah we were off, we were off to see America

             A    D    E
And we were off
