G                 C                G 
For those who the road is all that matters? 
C                                   G 
For them who have lived on borrowed time 
?G                C                G 
For those whose seeds in life are scattered? 
C                                  D 
For them that are too far down the line 


For those who have lived on next to nothing? 
Playing in a bar in Jacksonville? 
With nothing but the songs that they are singing 
?With nothing but the spaces left to fill

Here’s a highway prayer? 
G                C 
Here’s a highway song? 
C              C 
Don’t stay too late 
?C             D 
Don’t cry too long? 
D             G          C 
You’re coming home, home again? 
C              C    D         G 
Gonna tell ‘em all where you been 


I used to think the road was all that mattered? 
I used to like to live on borrowed time? 
I used to like to live on next to nothing 
?But I’m still out here living line to line 


Living in some old torch singer’s memory ? 
Out here on the road to Tennessee? 
A place where all our songs and dreams go sailing 
?And I’ll say one for you, you sing one for me
