Intro

Intro/lead guitar: (slide/steel guitar):

Verse 1

We're still in Wisconsin

As far as I know

Today was Green Bay

 And tomorrow's Chicago

Wish I was lying

 But there isn't much to report

My phone is dying

 So I've got to keep it short

Chorus 1

I just wanted to say...hey

 I've been writing you a road song

 It's a cliche, but hey

 That doesn't make it so wrong

 And in between the stops at the Cracker Barrel

 And forty movies with Will Ferrell

 I need some way to occupy my time

 So I'm writing you a road song

 I sure hope you don't mind

 Ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh uh huh

Verse 2

I bought you a light blue

T shirt last night

From some band I couldn't stand

 But their logo's alright

Some kid threw a bottle onstage

 He had an arm like a pro

I know it's getting late

 I guess I should let you go

Chorus 2

 But did I happen to say...hey

 I've been writing you a road song

 Don't run away cause hey

 I promise it won't be too long

 I know it's not what you'd call necessary

 And I know that I'm no Steve Perry

 But even if you roll your eyes and groan

 I'm still writing you a road song

 That you can call your own

 Ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh uh huh
