VERSE 1
A Bm
Well he's following the broken line
D
Living on borrowed time
G Bm D
Motel rooms and broken hearts all left behind
Bm
Swear he couldnt close his eyes
D
Shifts into overdrive
G Bm D
He's been up and down this road so many times
A Bm
The man on his own
Em G
Searching just keeps him moving
A Bm
And only the road
A
Can take the rebel in his soul
D
It's the rhythm of the highway
Bm
AS he rolls on by
D G
The city lights as a faithful sign
Bm D A G
Drive that man behind that driving wheels
VERSE 2
Like a cowboy in a rodeo
Riding hard but never letting go
But he'll be wand'ring through the twilight of his life
Waylon Jennnings on the radio
The country music and engine roar
Like a shooting star across a desert sky
Out he's got a home
Outside on the blue horizon
And God only knows
There's still a rebel in his soul
CHORUS 1
CHORUS 2
And chase the satellite
In the distant sky
Open plains to the mountains high
Drive that man behind that driving wheels
SOLO
Bm D G D/F# A D
VERSE 3
A Bm
Well he's thought about settling down
Bm
A little diver on the edge of town
G Bm
But in this world of push and shove
A
He still got freedom in his heart
D
It's the rhythm of the highway...
