ever since my childhood i've been scared i've been afraid

so i always keep a small bag full of clothes carefully stored
	A minorAm
somewhere secret somewhere safe and somewhere close to the door

G+G
well ive travelled many countries ive washed my feet in many seas
		D/F#D/F#
ive drunk with drifters in vienna and with punks in old dc

and ive driven across deserts driven by the irony
	 A minorAm
that only being shackled to the the road could ever i be free

I've felt old before my time but now i keep the age away
  D/F#D/F#
by burning up the miles and yeah by filling up my days
	G+G
and the nights a thousand nights ive played and a thousand more to go
	A minorAm
before i take a breath and steal myself for the next one thousand shows

	C majorC
to the east to the east
  A minorAm
the road beneath my feet
