Standard (EADGBE)
Ive been to Memphis, down to Baton Rouge
Racked up expenses on hotel rooms and booze
I may be senseless, but I'm staying on the move
Until I wear a hole in these old walkin shoes.
Chorus
I dont need no picket fences, I dont want no rockin chair
I got my own ball and chain to wear
Out on the highway, youll find me there
( - Mando)
Spare me the story friend Ive got no time to spare
Ive been to Portland, and Chicago too
Ive been to Wichita, Arapaho, St. Lou
But all those places, I aint seen them all
cause the moment I arrived I had to run
Chorus
(Instrumental, good luck)
Ive seen the city, Ive seen the plains
Ive spent most my life in mountainous terrain
Well the more I drive these roads I go insane
Thats why Im headed back to where I came
Chorus
(Instrumental, rip away
keep going, dont give up, and again)
