[C] [F] [C] [F]
[C]I spent my whole [F]life on the open [C]road[F]
That [C]blacktop Texas [F]highways all I [G]know
And Monday [Am]mornin neither [G]rain or shine came [F]early every week
[C]Bills to pay many [G]more deadlines to [F]meet
I [C]tried to fight the [F]urge not to run [C]away[F]
[C]Even now my [F]pride is left [G]unpaid
But a [Am]good man does what [G]he should do and he [F]takes things face to face
So I [C]guess I have to [G]face that lonely [F]highway for another [C]day
Chorus:
So Im movin [G]on cause I got [F]dreams I wont let [C]die
No [G]road is left forgotten as I [F]drive into the [C]night
I [Am]try so hard to [G]carry on the [F]words that my daddy preached
But I [C]guess I have to [G]fight that lonely [F]highway for another [C]week
Late night radio is my best friend
Talkin of the places that I never been
But I promise that I see the world I heard so much about
Wondrin full of '' could be my way, could be my way out
Chorus
I tried to find a place I could settle down
But that blacktop Texas highway cant be found
But about the time I get there and my suitcase is unpacked
Those rolling wheels keep callin me, calling me on back
