Intro: F#m, D, E (repeat this twice, then pick up the pace)
F#m D E
I've got the western stars to guide me
F#m D E
Dixie sweet and low all night long
F#m D E
I can hear those fiddles high above me
F#m D E
A woman smiles as I sing my song
F#m D E
I've stood in line I've earned my keep
F#m D E
But I can't stop for my destiny
F#m D E
A neon sign calls me to sleep
F#m D E
But I'm wide awake so I roll on
A E F#m D
Travelin' man, ride as far as I can stand
A E F#m
My moma cries for the life I choose
A E F#m D
I need a beer but it's too damn far away from here
A E D
And I have no time to sing the blues.
F#m D E
And i know i drink more than i should
F#m D E
but i cant slow down for my destiny
F#m D E
lord knows i'd stop if i could
F#m D E
but the saints of old lift their glass to me
Chorus
