VERSE 1 
A5                  B5 
Well he's following the broken line 
        D5 
Living on borrowed time 
      G5            B5            D5 
Motel rooms and broken hearts all left behind 
              B5 
Swear he couldnt close his eyes 
           D5 
Shifts into overdrive 
        G5               B5             D5 
He's been up and down this road so many times 
            A5      B5 
The man on his own 
            E5          G5 
Searching just keeps him moving 
            A5            B5 
And only the road 
            A5 
Can take the rebel in his soul 
 

                  D5 
It's the rhythm of the highway 
      B5 
AS he rolls on by 
    D5                  G5 
The city lights as a faithful sign 
B5              D5               A5            G5 
Drive that man behind that driving wheels  
 
VERSE 2 

Like a cowboy in a rodeo 

Riding hard but never letting go 

But he'll be wand'ring through the twilight of his life 

Waylon Jennnings on the radio 

The country music and engine roar 

Like a shooting star across a desert sky 

Out he's got a home 

Outside on the blue horizon 

And God only knows 

There's still a rebel in his soul 

CHORUS 1 
 
CHORUS 2 

And chase the satellite 

In the distant sky 

Open plains to the mountains high 

Drive that man behind that driving wheels

VERSE 3 
                  A5            B5 
Well he's thought about settling down 
                  B5 
A little diver on the edge of town 
          G5                  B5 
But in this world of push and shove 
       A5 
He still got freedom in his heart 
                  D5 
It's the rhythm of the highway...
