(repeat this twice, then pick up the pace) 
 

F#5                   D5                   E5 
I've got the western stars to guide me 
F#5                   D5                   E5 
Dixie sweet and low all night long 
F#5                   D5                   E5 
I can hear those fiddles high above me 
F#5           D5                   E5 
A woman smiles as I sing my song 
 

F#5                   D5                   E5 
I've stood in line I've earned my keep 
F#5                D5                        E5 
But I can not (something something)for my destiny 
F#5                   D5                   E5 
A neon sign calls me to sleep 
F#5                   D5                   E5 
But I'm wide awake so I roll on 
 

A5           E5   F#5          D5 
Travelin' man, ride as far as I can stand 
A5          E5               F#5 
My moma cries for the life I choose 
A5           E5     F#5          D5 
I need a beer but it's too damn far away from here 
A5             E5                  D5        
And I have no time to sing the blues.
