Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[C][F][Am][C][F][C]
[F][C][F][C][F]

[Verse 1]
I was [C]born
on a blue lane highway line
Runnin' [F]up and down Mississippi's
crooked spine
I've been gone [C]too long
It's high time I made time for [G]this

[Verse 2]
A [C]hundred miles south
of Graceland's gate
Just see [F]me comin' from the
volunteer state
With a home[C]sick heart
and magnolia plates
[F]Off exit [C]206

[Verse 3]
It all gets to be too much
[F]My soul feels out of touch
I [C]get in my beat up ride and drive I- 55
I fill up on old friends
Get back [F]to where it all began
I al[C]ways leave feelin' more alive,
[F]I-[C]
[F]55

[Verse 4]
[C]Rest my arm on the windowsill
[F]Breathin' in them old pine [C]hills
An the midnight smoke from the paper mills
To the stars off Lilly [G]Road

[Verse 5]
This [C]little lake town is all we got
But I [F]love it most for what it's not
And them [C]kids in the
Chainey's parking lot
That was me ten [G]years [C]ago

[Verse 6]
When it all gets to be too [C]much
[F]My soul feels out of touch
I [C]get in my beat up ride and drive I- 55
I fill up on old friends
Get back [F]to where it all began
[C]I always leave feelin' more alive, I- 55

[Verse 7]
And I [F]never can stay
As long as I want to
And now [C]Ma moved away
But the one thing I won't do
Is for[F]get where I come from
You [Dm]bet I'll always run
[F]Back down that old familiar stretch of
[G]in terstate

[Interlude 1]
[G][C][F][C]
[F][C][F][C]
[F]
[C]When it

[Verse 8]
all gets to be too [F]much
[C]My soul feels out of touch
[F]I f[C]ill up on old frie[F]nds[C]
Get back, get back,
to where it [F]all began, all began, [C]yeah

[Verse 9]
I- 55 Oh [C]and I drive,
[F]and I[C] drive,
and I drive, and I drive, and I [F]drive
[C]I- 55
