The River and The Highway  by Pam Tillis 
Intro chords  D5 A5 G5  D5 A5 G5 
 
D5                A5               G5 
She follows the path of least resistance 
      D5              A5                G5 
She doesn't care to see the mountain top 
      D5                         A5          G5 
She twistS and turns with no regard to distance 
D5           A5         G5 
She never comes to a stop 
         D5  A5            G5 
And she rolls, she's a river 
          D5  A5            G5 
Where she goes time will tell 
       D5  A5                    G5 
Heaven knows he can't go with her 
        D5  A5            G5      A5       B5     A5   G5 
And she rolls all by herself  all by herself 
       D5            A5        G5 
He's headed for a single destination 
             D5           A5              G5 
He doesn't care what's standing in his path 
        D5                  A5          G5 
He's a line between two points of separation 
    D5                  A5              G5  
He ends just where it says to on the map 
       D5  A5            G5             D5 A5             G5 
And he rolls he's high-way  Where he goes time will tell 
        D5  A5                    G5 
Heaven knows she can't go with him   
       D5  A5           G5       A5       B5     A5   G5 
And he rolls all by himself  all by himself 
 

      G5                     D5 
And every now and then, he offers her a shoulder 
      G5                            D5 
And every now and then, she over-flows. 
     G5                     D5              B5 
And every now and than, a bridge crosses over 
        F5                        A5 
It's a moment that every lover knows 
        D5   A5 
And she rolls (and he rolls) 
          G5 
she's a river (he's a highway) 
          D5  A5 
Where she goes (where he goes) 
            G5 
time will tell (time will tell) 
       D5  A5                     G5 
heaven knows she can't go with him (he can't go with her) 
         D5  A5           G5 
and she rolls all by herself 
       D5  A5           G5 
And he rolls all by himself 
A5          D5 
Fare thee well
