Verse 1: 
      A                            D        A          
I'm thinkin' 'bout givin' up this ramblin' round  
 D      A      E        A                              
Hangin' up my highway shoes  
A                               D      A               
Lately when I walk they make a hollow sound  
          D     A   E        A                         
And they carry me away from you  
E                     D    A                           
Every night I lay my body down  
   D     A          D     A   E                        
My empty arms just leave me blue  
         A                            D         A      
So I'm thinkin' 'bout givin' up this ramblin' 'round  
     D       A        E       A                        
And find my way back home to you

Verse 2: 
A                        D        A                    
I have always been the travelin' kind  
   D       A       E       A                           
A million miles behind me now  
A                          D         A                 
I kept on followin' that thin white line  
     D     A       E     A                             
But now I want to turn around  
E                          D       A                   
I only lived to hear that highway sound  
 D        A          D   A   E                         
High and lonesome - low and blue  
          A                            D         A     
Now I'm thinkin' 'bout givin' up this ramblin' 'round  
     D       A        E       A                        
And find my way back home to you

Verse 3: 
A                         D        A                   
So say goodbye to all my ramblin' pals  
     D       A        E         A                      
Ol' Highway Dave and Southside Sue  
A                               D   A                  
I don't believe they'll miss me anyhow  
       D         A       E       A                     
What's one less wayward soul or two  
E                               D    A                 
Down the road they'll pass the jug around  
             D         A        D   A    E             
And they'll sing them lonesome highway blues  
             A                            D         A  
But me I'm thinkin' 'bout givin' up this ramblin' 'round  
     D       A        E       A                        
And find my way back home to you
