Lời & hợp âm

[Verse 1]
[D]Wel[G]l I left my home out on [D]the
[G]great high [D]planes[G]
Headed for [D]some new [G]terrains
Standin' on the highway with
my coffee cup
Wonderin' who's gonna pick me up

[Verse 2]
I had my [G]hopes [D]up [C]high
I never thought that [G]I[D][G]
Would ever [D]wonder why I ever said goodbye
I had my hopes up [G]high

[Verse 3]
Well [G]the first ride I got was in
a dynamite truck
The driver kept tellin' me his bad luck
As we swerved around the curves,
I began to shout
I said, "Hey, mister would you let me out?"

[Verse 4]
I had my [G]hopes [D]up [C]high
I never thought that [G]I
Would ever [D]wonder why
I ever said goodbye
I had my hopes up [G]high

[Interlude 1]

An[C]d the next

[Verse 5]
[G]ride I got was
with a man in trouble
Beard on his face was all
and a stubble
Runnin' from the law, he was goin' 99
I said, "Hey,
mister you're out of your mind"

[Verse 6]
I had my [G]hopes up [C]high
I never thought that [G]I
Would ever [D]wonder why I ever said goodbye
I had my hopes up [G]high

[Verse 7]
And [G]the next ride I got was
with a preacher man
Told me that the wicked
would be buried in sin
I don't know why I did it
but I lost control
I said, "Hey,
papa would you save my soul?"

[Verse 8]
I had my [G]hopes up [C]high
I never thought that [G]I
Would ever [D]wonder why I ever said goodbye
I had my hopes up [G]high

[Interlude 2]

[G][D][G]
[C]Well I

[Verse 9]
[G]fi nally got a ride
on a carnival train
Nearly blew away in a hurricane
I got to thinkin' 'bout the preacher
down in Louisiana
Now I'm sittin' on the Delta siftin' [D]sand

[Verse 10]
I had my [D]hopes [C]up high
I never thought that [G]I
Would ever [D]wonder why I ever said goodbye
I had my hopes up [G]high

[Verse 11]
I never [D]thought that I
Would ever [D]wonder why I ever [D]said goodbye
I had my hopes [D]up high
