Lost Highway Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[D]You [C]know, [G]I d[D]on't know why,[A]
but most people think of Hank [D]Williams
when you mention [G]David
Allen [D]Coe's [G]name,
an[D]d maybe it's because the
ride was such a hit for [C]me.[G]
But I was so dis[D]appointed
when they did a TV special
[C]on Hank [G]Williams this year
and they asked [D]John Anderson
to sing the ride [G]instead of me,
it broke [D]my heart.
And I was telling Mo [A]about
that at [G]King Records,
[A]they [D]had just [A]released my latest al[D]bum,
Lone[G]some Fugitive.
And he said, [D]well,
why don't we go in the studio
and cut a trib[C]ute album [G]to Hank
an[D]d call it The Ghost of Hank Williams
after the song [G]you wrote
at Hank's grave.
And I [D]said, man, that'd be great.
[C]And Mo sai[G]d, wel[D]l,
what's your favorite Hank Williams song[G]s?
I picked [D]up the guitar, started [A]playing it, and [G]I went,
I'm a [D]rolling stone, [C]all [G]alo[D]ne and los[C]t,[G]
A [D]life of [C]sin, [G]I have p[D]aid the c[A]ost.
When I pass [G]by, [D]all[G] the people say[D]
[C]Just [G]another guy on [D]the[C] lo[G]st highway
[D]Jus[C]t a d[D]eck of cards
[C]an [G]d a jug of win[D]e
[C]An [G]d a woman's lie[D]s
[G]makes a life like [A]mine
On the day we [G]met, [D]I w[G]ent astr[D]ay
[G]I started d[D]own t[C]hat l[G]ost highway
[D][C][D][C][G][D][C][G][D][C][G]
[D]I w[C]as [D]just a lad,
[C]merely [G]twenty -two[D]
[C]Neither [G]good nor bad[D],
[C]jus[G]t a kid like you[A]
And now I'm [G]lost, too late to [D]pray
[C]Lord, [G]I paid the cos[D]t on
[C]the[G] lost highway[D]
Now boys, don't stop,
[C]you're [G]running around
[D]On [G]the road of sin[D],
[C]or [G]you're sorrow bound[A]
Take my ad[G]vice, you'll curse the [D]day [C]you[G]
started traveling [D]down [G]that lost highway,
[D]tha[G]t lost highway[D],
[G]lost high[D]way,
[C]tha[G]t old lost highway.
