headed south Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[Am][Em]
[Am][Em]

[Verse 1]
[Am]Out on the
road two hundred days a year
Blowin' smoke and grindin' gears
My [G]bones are achin' from
this northern [Am]cold

[Verse 2]
Baby's cryin' on [Am]the telephone
Momma says I've been gone too long
This [G]whiskey I've been drinkin'
along is sure get[Am]tin' old

[Verse 3]
This [C]old highway don't
[G]seem to end
[Am]Countin' the days 'til [G]I'm home again
[C]Bus[F] wheels turnin' from town to town
I [G]wish I could set this circus down

[Verse 4]
[F]I've had enough, I'm punchin' out
Cause [G]this whole thing is headed [Am]south,
[D]hea[Am]ded south
[Em][Am]

[Verse 5]
One more night at the Eight Days Inn
I need to hold my baby again
These [G]four damn walls are
closin' in [Am]on me

[Verse 6]
[Am]Unpackin' my bags just
to pack 'em again
Don't want you to see
the shape I'm in
I could [G]sure use some shade
from a live [Am]oak tree

[Verse 7]
This [C]old highway don't
[G]seem to end
[Am]Countin' the days until I'm [G]home [C]again
[F]Bus wheels turnin' from town to town
I [G]wish I could set this circus down

[Verse 8]
I've [F]had enough, I'm punchin' out
Cause [G]this old boy is headed south
[Am]

[Verse 9]
The [F]Sewanee River, The [G]Mason Dixon
Her [F]pretty face are the
[G]things I'm missin'
I'm headed [Am]south, headed south

[Interlude 1]
[Am][F][G]

[Verse 10]
This [C]old highway's comin'
[G]to an end
[Am]Today's the day I'm
comin' [G]home [C]again[F]
Bus wheels comin' right to my town
[G]I just set this cir[Am]cus down
[F]I've had

[Verse 11]
enough, I'm punchin' out
I'm [G]comin' home,
I'm headed [Am]south
Headed [D]south, I'm headed [Am]south
[D]

[Interlude 2]
[Em][Am][D][Em][Am]

[Verse 12]
I'm headed, I'm headed [Am]south
Talk to me, boys
I'm blowin' smoke, grindin' gears
Man, my bones are achin',
I'm headed south
Ooh, I'm headed south,
I'm headed [D]south[Am]
[G]Oh, [Am]I'm headed south

[Outro 1]
[Am]
