Capo 4
D G
I play the road,
A D
And the highway is our song,
G D
And every city’s like the same three chords
Em A D A7sus4 D
Been helping us along when the story’s told
G D
And the crowd has come and gone
G D A D
Shaking off the miles and trying to make it home
G D
Every exit is a season,
A D
Every signal is a beacon
G D
And the wind, it carries me
Em A
And it eases up my load
G D
Everyday I drag the turns
A D
Every candle still burns
G D
And every lesson I have learned
A D
Brings us closer to the crowd

Well the bus it is our steeple,
A D
It brings us to the people
G D
And they will be there waiting,
Em A
Dancing young and old
G D
And every one of us gets tired,
A D
But every one remains inspired
G D
And every one of us require
A D
To keep picking through our souls
