Standard (EADGBE)

Intro

Black road, Georgia trees

Midnight moon just stay with me

Like a lighthouse in the sky

And let these eighteen wheels fly

I woke up this morning in a Motel Five

Brokenhearted, I'm gonna drive through the night

Down the open road

I asked her where we stood

She said Johnny this ain't no good

You made the highway your home

And I'm just tired of living alone

So you go your way, and I'll go mine

And maybe one day, you'll find what you're looking for

Down the open road

Down the open road

Bridge

I've been down this road many time

 And Lord I've tried to find

Some peace of heart, some peace of mind

 But this road just winds and winds

There's a crazy lady with high-heeled shoes

She could take away my homesick blues

And lately I feel a little crazy too

Yes I do ma'am, yes I do

Got a double sleeper, I'm hell on wheels

Come on sweet thing, show me how love feels

Down the open road

Down the open road

Down the open road

Somewhere down the open

  road

She don't break down, she don't run cold

  She's heart and soul like a pot of gold

  She sees the white lines when I'm driving blind

  A hundred more miles and she's right on time

  Right on time

  She's right on time, right on time (Down the open road)
