A
Let me tell you baby - If you want to pin me down
Better get your hammer, girl - and nail me to the ground
D
'Cause you won't find no grass stains
On the bottom of my feet
A
The only home I've ever known - is out there on the street.
DA
You call me insane - Honey, That's my middle name
DA
And I don't care which way the wind will blow
EA
'Cause I don't know - So down the road I go.
Musical turn around
A
You see I tried to settle down - Not too long ago
You can lock my body up - But you can't calm my soul
D
I don't want to hurt you - Or put you on the shelf
A
But my daddy told me all my life
You've got to be yourself.
Repeat the Chorus
Long InstrumentalD
I'm sure there's lots of guys out there
Who've learned to tow the line
A
Compared to them my life may look a wreck
D
But girl, you've been to college
So you ahould know by now
E
And if you can't understand me
What the hell do you expect
A
I'm giving you fair warning - I'm gonna say goodbye
And when I'm walking out the door
Don't want to hear you cry
D
There's so much highway out there
That I ain't never seen
A
And all I need is cigarettes, guitars, and gasoline.
Repeat the ChorusATag: Down the road I go
A
I'll see you around
A
'Cause I'm leaving town
A
Yeah, yeah, yeahhh (fades out).
