Tom: D
Introdução:
C C/B C/A C/G F F/E Dm
I gave up the fast lane for a blacktop county road
C G
Just burned out all that talk about the mother lode
C C/B C/A C/G F F/E Dm
I traded for a songbird and a bigger piece of sky
C G C
When I miss the good old days, I can&rsquo t imagine why
Chorus:
F C
Still I get restless and drive into town
G C
I cruise once down Main Street and turn back around
F C
It&rsquo s crazy but God knows I don&rsquo t act my age
G C
Like an old desperado who paints the town beige
C C/B C/A C/G F F/E Dm
Down along the river and past the swimming hole
C G
You can find your peace of mind with just a fishin&rsquo pole
C C/B C/A C/G F F/E Dm
And you can walk the river for miles and miles on end
C G
And never stop believin&rsquo in that dream around the bend
Chorus:
F C
Still I get restless and drive into town
G C
My radio playing my windows rolled down
F C
It&rsquo s crazy but God knows I don&rsquo t act my age
G C
Like an old desperado who paints the town beige
C C/B C/A C/G F F/E Dm
Deep down in the winter time slows to a crawl
C G
There&rsquo s really nothin&rsquo much to do until the first spring thaw
C C/B C/A C/G F F/E Dm
It&rsquo s then I get to thinkin&rsquo I must have gone insane
C G
Old memories roll through my mind like a long slow railroad train
Chorus:
F C
Still I get restless and drive into town
G C
Watch the world through a windshield as it all comes unwound
F C
It&rsquo s crazy but God knows I don&rsquo t act my age
G C
Like an old desperado who paints the town beige
