(repeat this twice, then pick up the pace) 
 

F#m                   D                   E 
I've got the western stars to guide me 
F#m                   D                   E 
Dixie sweet and low all night long 
F#m                   D                   E 
I can hear those fiddles high above me 
F#m           D                   E 
A woman smiles as I sing my song 
 

F#m                   D                   E 
I've stood in line I've earned my keep 
F#m                D                        E 
But I can not (something something)for my destiny 
F#m                   D                   E 
A neon sign calls me to sleep 
F#m                   D                   E 
But I'm wide awake so I roll on 
 

A           E   F#m          D 
Travelin' man, ride as far as I can stand 
A          E               F#m 
My moma cries for the life I choose 
A           E     F#m          D 
I need a beer but it's too damn far away from here 
A             E                  D        
And I have no time to sing the blues.
