CAPO 2nd 
 
G5  G5  D5  D5    G5  G5  C5  C5    G5  G5  D5  D5    G5  G5  G5  G5 
 
G5           G5        D5         D5 
  He pulled out in a cloud of dust 
G5        G5          C5       C5 
  Laying rubber and spewing rust 
       E5  E5        D5    D5 
And on any road he'd take 
              C5           G5          A5             D5 
He'd have his foot on the pedal and my heart on the brake(break) 
 

G5      G5           D5        D5 
  Underneath the smooth tar curves 
G5           G5    C5        C5 
  A road is only dust and dirt 
     E5     E5     D5   D5 
On a lonely interchange 
    C5         A5        D5   D5 
The signs all look the same 
 

         G5       G5       D5   D5       C5         C5       D5      D5 
'Cause a road is just a road   and a feeling's just a feeling 
   G5      G5          D5  D5      C5     C5     D5      D5 
No matter where you go,   from Waterloo to Wichita 
  G5       G5       D5   D5          C5         C5     E5     E5 
A road is just a road   that the one you love is leaving on 
C5        C5        E5    E5   D5     D5       G5  G5    G5   G5 
  And midnight's another dawn,     100 miles ago     
 
His wheels spun out of sight of me 

Believing that I'd set him free 

But I'd heard the voice of the prisoner 

Saying he couldn't get enough of her 
 
You go by land, you go by air 

You go by sea, hell I don't care 

You can go any way you choose 

Wearing out the soles of your traveling shoes 
 
And a road is just a road and a feeling's just a feeling 

No matter where you go, from Bangor, Maine to Bakersfield 

A road is just a road that the one you love is leaving on 

And midnight's another dawn, a hundred miles ago 
 
Solo (Chorus Chords) 
 

F5           F5         C5       C5 
  And every sleepless night I see him 
G5          G5     C5      C5   C5   C5 
Screaming by the scenery 
    F5    F5     C5      C5 
Not noticing another mile 
       G5       G5           C5        C5   C5   C5    D5   D5   D5   D5 
That's rolled down between him and me 
 
'Cause a road is just a road and a feeling's just a feeling 
No matter where you go, from Saskatoon to San Antone 
A road is just a road that the one you love is leaving on 
And midnight's another dawn, a hundred miles ago 
 
Yes, a road is just a road and a feeling's just a feeling 
No matter where you go, from San Bernardino to Sault Ste.Marie 
A road is just a road that the one you love is leaving on 
And midnight's another dawn, a hundred miles ago
