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

                  D 
It's the rhythm of the highway 
      Bm 
AS he rolls on by 
    D                  G 
The city lights as a faithful sign 
Bm              D               A            G 
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 
                  A            Bm 
Well he's thought about settling down 
                  Bm 
A little diver on the edge of town 
          G                  Bm 
But in this world of push and shove 
       A 
He still got freedom in his heart 
                  D 
It's the rhythm of the highway...
