Intro:
A D A D A E A (2X)
Verse 1:
A D A
I'm thinkin' 'bout givin' up this ramblin' round
D A E A
Hangin' up my highway shoes
A D A
Lately when I walk they make a hollow sound
D A E A
And they carry me away from you
E D A
Every night I lay my body down
D A D A E
My empty arms just leave me blue
A D A
So I'm thinkin' 'bout givin' up this ramblin' 'round
D A E A
And find my way back home to you
Instrumental Bridge:
A D A D A E A
Verse 2:
A D A
I have always been the travelin' kind
D A E A
A million miles behind me now
A D A
I kept on followin' that thin white line
D A E A
But now I want to turn around
E D A
I only lived to hear that highway sound
D A D A E
High and lonesome - low and blue
A D A
Now I'm thinkin' 'bout givin' up this ramblin' 'round
D A E A
And find my way back home to you
Instrumental Bridge 2:
A D A D A E A
A D A D A E A
E D A D A D A E
A D A D A E A
Verse 3:
A D A
So say goodbye to all my ramblin' pals
D A E A
Ol' Highway Dave and Southside Sue
A D A
I don't believe they'll miss me anyhow
D A E A
What's one less wayward soul or two
E D A
Down the road they'll pass the jug around
D A D A E
And they'll sing them lonesome highway blues
A D A
But me I'm thinkin' 'bout givin' up this ramblin'
'round
D A E A
And find my way back home to you
