[Verse 1]
[G]Well,
Highway 16 is so pretty
I [Am]got a part -time job w[C]orking in city
Got a [Am]guy on my arm
and [C]everything's going [G]fine
So with a heave and a laugh,
I put a foot on the gas
[Am]Don't stop for directions, no [C]time to ask
I [Am]get my ass across
[C]that county lin[G]e
And my job is great,
put food on the plate
But it [Am]all gets sold,
I'm on a [C]stark clean slate
So I [Am]pack my blue [C]suitcase
and hit the [G]road
And my boss is mad
and my guy got sad
But it [Am]couldn't make me [C]feel so bad
That I [Am]wouldn't just jump the gun[C],
get up and [G]roll[C][G][C][E][Em][G]
[Em]In the h[C]ighway, it's so sw[G]eet
When it's [Am]nothing but you
[C]and your own two [G]feet[Em]
Set [C]life's way down [G]to
a rickety [A]old town
Where [C]everybody [D]knows [G]your name
It's just [D]me and a map
and a cup in the lab
Life's [Am]getting a lot better,
no [C]doubt about that
But I've [Am]got this feeling
[C]all that's about [G]to [Em]change
[C][Em][G][C][E][Em]
[G]
Yeah, that open road was a call to me
I had [Am]no idea it s[C]o lo[Am]nely
After two thousand miles
the road[C]s all seem the s[G]ame
And there's a lot of time
to just clear your mind
[Am]And listen to the same tapes
[C]eighteen [Am]times
And think about the [C]ones I've left [G]behind
[Am]Just think about [C]the
ones I've left [G]behind
[C][E][G][G][C][E]
[Em]
[G]You[Em][G][G]
