CAPO: 2nd Fret
INTRO: [F] [G] [C] [F] [G] [F]
N.C.
Have I got every[F]thing?[G] Am I ready to [C]go?
Is it gonna be [F]wild, is it gonna be the [G]best time?
Or [Am]am I just saying so-o-o-[F]o?[G] Am I ready to [C]go?
What do I [F]hear when I say I [G]hear the call of the [C]road?
N.C.
I think it started with [Am]driving
More [F]speed, more [G]deals, more [Am]sky, more [G]wheels
More [Am]things to leave be[F]hind [G]
Now it's all in a [C]day for the modern mind
And I am [F]travelin[G]g a[C]gain
Calling this a [F]ghost town[G] and where is the [Am]heartland?
And I'm a[F]fraid, oh,[G] was there any good [Am]reason
That I had to [F]go, when all I [G]know is, I can never come [Am]back, yeah, [F]yeah[G] [C]
Traveling, I made a [F]friend,[G] he had a trouble in his [C]head
And all he coul[F]d say, that he knew that the [G]bottle
[Am]Drank the woman from his b[F]ed,[G] from his [C]bed
He said, "[F]I'm not gonna [G]lose that way a[C]gain"
But sober is just like [Am]driving
More [F]joy, more [G]dread, someone [Am]turns her [G]head
And [Am]smiles and disap[F]pears [G]
He's gotta take it like it [C]is and it goes too fast
And he is[F] just like [G]me, caught[F] in-be[G]tween, no[Am] sage advisor
Does[F] weary mean wiser?
And[Dm] someday, will I[Am] sing the mountains that [F]carried me away
Away from [Dm]home and hometown boys like [G]you
Yeah, what about [F]us?[G] Was it really [C]that bad?
Oh, its hard to be[F]lieve I want a highway [G]road-stop
[Am]More than all the times we h[F]ad[G] on little [C]dirt roads
What am I [F]reaching for, that's [G]better than a hand to [C]hold?
N.C.
It really was about [Am]driving
Not [F]fame, not [G]wealth, not driving a[Am]way from my[G]self
It's just my[Am]self drove away from [F]me [G]
And now I gotta get it [C]back and it goes so fast
So I am [F]traveling[G] a[C]gain
Sitting at the [F]All-Night,[G] picking up a [Am]pen
And I'm a[F]fraid, oh,[G] was there any good [Am]reason
That I had to [F]go, when all I [G]know is, I am [Am]all alo[F]ne a[C]gain
You are the [F]ghost town,[G] and I am the [Am]heartland
And I can [F]say, oh,[G] that's a very good [Am]reason that I had to go
But now all I [F]know,[G] is I can never come [Am]back, yeah, [F]yeah [G]
[C] [F] [G] [C] [F] -[C]
And I will never go back
