IntroDGDGDG
Don't know why they even bother putting this highway on the map
DG
Everybody that's ever been on it knows exactly where they're at
A
Hells on both ends of it
G
And no where's in between
DG
This highway's mean
DG
Seems like it's always hot down here, no matter when you come
DG
It's the kind of heat that holds you like a mama holds her son
AG
Tight when he tries to walk, even tighter if he runs
A
It's a mean old dusty highway
GA
But it's the only one that'll get you there
BmG
That'll get you there
Bm
Mean old highway
GDBm
Stuck to the ground in Mississippi
GD
It's the one'll set me free
G
It's the same one that I see
AG
Being ripped up off the ground and wrapped around me
AD
Don't let it fool you this highway's mean
DG
I don't need a map to tell me where I am today
DG
This feeling that I have has always led the way
A
Down here, you're running from a broken heart
GD
Or to a heart that you have to break on this mean old highway
