Father, let us build a boat and sail a - way, there's nothing for you here,
E Bm7 C#m7 Abm7 A7M A/B
And Brother, let us throw our lot out upon the sea, it's been done be - fore!
D/E E/A D/E E/A
I'm thinkin' 'bout a broken heart, I'm talkin' 'bout the break of dawn,
D/E E/A D/E E/A
You've loved me while I'm here, then you can miss me when I'm gone,
D/E E/A D/E E/A
Sweet misunder - standing, won't you leave a poor boy a - lone?
D/E E/A E D C#m D
I'm the one - eyed seed of a tumbleweed, in the belly of a rolling stone,
C#m7 Bm7 A7M
Back on the highway, yeah, yeah, yeah,

I had a little woman in Memphis, she wanted to be my bride,
D/E E/A D/E E/A
She said, "Settle on down, travel - ing man, and you can stay right by my side!"
D/E E/A D/E E/A
I tried so hard to please her, but I couldn't hold out too long,
D/E E/A E D C#m D
'Cause, one Saturday night, I was laying in bed, and I heard that highway song,
C#m7 Bm7 A7M
Back on the highway, yeah, yeah, yeah,

Back on the road----- again! | /__/ /__/ / / | / / / / |

D/E E/A D/E E/A
Now, one of these days, that highway song will lose it's appeal to me,
D/E E/A
I'm gonna settle on down, like a natural born man,
D/E E/A
I'm gonna live my life naturally, (Free and easy!)
D/E E/A D/E E/A
Till that day, the thunder's gonna roll, and I notice there's a sign of rain,
D/E E/A E D C#m D
So I grab my bags, and I pack my clothes, and I'm back on the road a - gain,
C#m7 Bm7 A7M
Back on the highway, yeah, yeah, yeah,
