 A augmentedA
Let me tell you baby - If you want to pin me down

Better get your hammer, girl - and nail me to the ground
 D MajorD
'Cause you won't find no grass stains

On the bottom of my feet
   A augmentedA
The only home I've ever known - is out there on the street.

       D MajorD                   A augmentedA
   You call me insane - Honey, That's my middle name
     D MajorD                   A augmentedA
   And I don't care which way the wind will blow
           E MajorE             A augmentedA
   'Cause I don't know - So down the road I go.


          Musical turn around

 A augmentedA
You see I tried to settle down - Not too long ago

You can lock my body up - But you can't calm my soul
     D MajorD
I don't want to hurt you - Or put you on the shelf
     A augmentedA
But my daddy told me all my life

You've got to be yourself.

        Repeat the chorus

        Long instrumental

  D MajorD
I'm sure there's lots of guys out there

Who've learned to tow the line
                   A augmentedA
Compared to them my life may look a wreck
   D MajorD
But girl, you've been to college

So you ahould know by now
 E MajorE
And if you can't understand me

What the hell do you expect

 A augmentedA
I'm giving you fair warning - I'm gonna say goodbye

And when I'm walking out the door

Don't want to hear you cry
  D MajorD
There's so much highway out there

That I ain't never seen
   A augmentedA
And all I need is cigarettes, guitars, and gasoline.


        Repeat the chorus

    A augmentedA
Tag: Down the road I go
     A augmentedA
   I'll see you around

    A augmentedA
   'Cause I'm leaving town
    A augmentedA
   Yeah, yeah, yeahhh   (fades out).
