Verse:
G               Em
Well I just hit town
G
You know the old routine
               Em
Try to tear it down
C                 G
Like you've never seen
                 C
It's a brand new year
           G      D            C     G      D            C    G
Feels like twenty seven warmed over, twenty seven warmed over

Chorus:
       D
On the road again, off of Highway 10
     G                D
In a cabin on a rural route
          G              D
I'm gonna figure out the hard way
Em       C     G       D       G
How fast I can wear my welcome out

Verse 1:
G                Em
Lord I miss this place
G
Could have stayed
                    Em
Instead tried to keep the pace
C              G
Out at Diamond Head
             C
I was almost there
G      D             C
Silver medal for the loser
G      D             C
Silver medal for the loser

Chorus:
       D
On the road again, off of Highway 10
     G                D
In a cabin on a rural route
          G              D
I'm gonna figure out the hard way
Em       C     G       D       G
How fast I can wear my welcome out

I'm gonna figure out the hard way

Verse:
G            Em
Now I'm headed out
G
With the same unrest
              Em
Tried to tear it down
C          G
But it was unimpressed
             C
Used to feel like home
G      D              C
It was rolling in the clover now
G      D              C
Twenty seven warmed over now
G      D              C
Twenty seven warmed over

Chorus:
       D
On the road again, off of Highway 10
     G                D
In a cabin on a rural route
          G              D
I'm gonna figure out the hard way
Em       C     G       D       G
How fast I can wear my welcome out

Outro:
          G              D
I'm gonna figure out the hard way
Em       C     G       D       G
How fast I can wear my welcome out
