Iron Road chords

[VERSE 1]
[F]Hundred [Bb]lists of[F] reasons I keep 'round
[Bb]Why I never had a family
[F]Why I couldn't settle down
[Bb]Why I'd sooner[F] in t[Dm]he mirror see a hobo lookin' low
[Gm]But the re[Dm]asons [Bb]now esca[F]pe me as I walk the iron road

[VERSE 2]
[F]Like a l[Bb]ot of ki[F]ds I left my boyhood home
[Bb]Worked a lit[F]tle on the railroad, Worked a little travelin' on
[Bb]Til the closes[F]t tha[Dm]t I ever got to an address or a phone
[Gm]Was the da[Dm]y I sp[Bb]ent my l[F]ast two bits on a one page letter home

[BRIDGE]
[Bb]At 21 my arc[F]hes lay down flat
[Gm]22 I start[Dm]ed takin' loans
[Bb]But if the train wi[Dm]ll come I'll wipe the box car dirt from off my bones
[Bb]And I'll curse the whee[F]ls that roll me, roll me down that iron road

[CHORUS]
[Bb]Iron road, ir[F]on road,[A] you'll [Bb]never give u[F]p the gold
[Gm]I spent 24[Dm] hours today lookin' back and feelin' low
[Bb]24 hours of lookin[F]' back can kill you, I've been told

[VERSE 3]
[F]At 60 my [Bb]dad left[F] his boyhood town
[Bb]Within a year [F]our mother followed him to higher ground
[Bb]And I'll be ne[F]xt to[Dm] join 'em soon as I see that engine roll
[Gm]Gonna lay [Dm]my hea[Bb]d on the[F] railroad bed and leave that iron road (2x)
