Introduction:
E
I was born on a bus, they say going south
Lived at a truck stop I never knew
A7 G D E
My mother ever since the highway's been my home
E
Two-lane block top, a super highway
Drive 'em all night and I drive 'em all day
A7 E
Sometimes it seems like I'm going nowhere
B
Like a restless wind I keep moving on
C D A7
And I can't seem to stay in one place too long
E A E D- A
I'm a road man, (HA!) I'm a road man Now
E A D E
I'm a road man, yeah, yeah, come on
E
Well, after a while, it all looks the same
Same old town with a different name
A7 G D E
(HA), that's why I keep moving on
E
Now if I have a dollar every mile I drove
You know I would be rich beyond words
A7 E
Money ain't the only thing I'd want
B
Like a restless wind I keep moving on
C D A7
And I can't seem to stay in one place too long
E A E D-A
I'm a road man, (HA!) I'm a road man Now
E A D E
I'm a road man, yeah, yeah,
C#m A7
Think of me when you hear the wind blow
C#m A7
I stick around but not too long
B
Hey yea, my middle name is, 'Gone'
A E D A
I'm long gone, I'm a road man, Ha!
