Missouri Road Song Chords & Lyrics - Bill Staines

[INTRO]
[D] [Bm] [G] [Bm] [A]

[VERSE]
Oh, good[D] morning Missouri, and [Bm]how have you been?
I’ve [G]driven all night just to [D]see you [A]again
And there’s [D]thunder behind me and [Bm]plenty of wind
[G]And the mountains [D]ahead where I’m g[A]oing.

This [D]ragged old car says [Bm]Hello to you, too
It’s been [G]many a mile since [D]first we were [A]through
Just a [D]couple of drifters with [Bm]nothing to do
[G]But go where the [D]wind was [A]a-blowing.

[REFRAIN]
[G]Your cornfields lie waiting for the [F#m]sweet summer sun
[Bm]To bring back the life winter [D]took on the [A]run
[D]And it’s west-bound through the small towns [Bm]with a song to be sung,
[G]A child on the [A]open [D]road. [D]*y[Bm]ode[G]l*[D] [A]

[VERSE]
Oh, good [D]morning, Missouri, the [Bm]sun’s at my back
There’s the [G]sound of a horn of a [D]fast-rolling [A]Mack
As it r[D]uns up behind, as it [Bm]burns down the track,
[G]Chasing the [D]shadows [A]before it.

There’s a [D]feeling inside says I [Bm]wish I could stay,
But there’s [G]songs to be sung and there’s [D]places to [A]play,
And there’s [D]plenty of time on some [Bm]other old day
To [G]share one, or [D]two, and [A]remember.

[REFRAIN]
The [G]dark of the night [F#m]lifts away with the dawn,
The [G]fools on the road will be [D]out before [A]long,
And the [D]birds in the fields lift to [Bm]flight with a song,

[G]My song of the [A]open [D]road. [D]*y[Bm]ode[G]l*[D] [A]

[G]My song of the [A]open [D]road. [D]*y[Bm]ode[G]l*[D] [A] *hol[D]d last note of yodel*
