INTRO:
G  F#m  G Bm D  G Bm D  A

VERSE:
A        G         Bm       D
In the shade of an old oak tree,
           G        Bm        D
I had the selfish idea to go back to sleep.
        G          Bm          D
But I fought every urge and I sat still
                  A   A
And hoped to be free.


VERSE:
 A       G          Bm                D
All the lies that I tell - they come back to me.
      G         Bm              D
In a wake of regret that could sober me.
       G           Bm            D                  A     A
And redemption it came with the sun and the summer breeze.


CHORUS:
         G      A   D          Bm
Oh, I'd like to be out on the road,
 G          A       D              Bm
With my guitar and one change of clothes.
         G      A    D
And I'd like to be whole.


INSTRUMENTAL:
D  D  A  A  F#m D  D  A  A


VERSE:
 A     G       Bm         D
Last night I thought of calling you.
         G           Bm           D
But the notion wore thin when I heard the tune,
        G       Bm             D                A
That brought me back to those times in Lacey's room.


CHORUS:
         G      A   D          Bm
Oh, I'd like to be out on the road,
 G          A       D              Bm
With my guitar and one change of clothes.
         G      A
And I'd like to be


BREAK:
 G             Bm            A
Somewhere my thoughts can breathe,
      G             D     A
And troubles don't follow me.
     G          Bm   A             G
The heavy ship goes down with the sea,
    Bm           G         A
bBut my load is light and free.


OUTRO:
A   G  D   G  D   G  D   A  A   D
