 Verse:
E

There's a long highway in your mind
A
The spirit road that you must find
E
To get you home to peace again
A
Where you belong, my love lost friend
E                  A
When you're alone You cheat yourself
A                        B7
You paint yourself in a dark, dark place
E
You get your shoes and get your hat
A                         B7
Get out here while you still can
E
There's nothin' right that you can say
A
You keep on talkin' anyway
E
and everyone seems to turn on you
A
There's nothing right that you can ever do

Verse:
E
Now you're on that long highway in your mind
A
The spirit road that you had to find
E
You're headed home to peace again
A
Where you belong, my love lost friend
E
You stop to eat You start to drink
A                          B7
But you don't stop and you don't think
E
You lost your keys You're on your knees
A                              B7
You're on your back and lookin' up in the trees
E
And the night swirls for a little girl
A                       B7
A speck of dust in the giant world
E
There's a spirit road that you must find
A
A long highway in your mind

There's a long highway in your mind
A
The spirit road that you must find
E
To get you home to peace again
A
Where you belong, my love lost friend
E
Don't feed that snake That turns on you
A                   B7
You starve it out, that's what you do
E
And it makes you lie It makes you cheat
A                       B7
It steals your shoes and cuts your feet
E
The snake keeps feeding through the night
A
You lose your soul without a fight
E
There's nothin' right that you can say
A
You keep on talkin' anyway
E
There's a long highway in your mind
A
The spirit road that you must find

Bridge:
E
Spirit road  Peace again
A
Spirit road  Peace again
