  A
Let me tell you baby - If you want to pin me down

Better get your hammer, girl - and nail me to the ground
  D
'Cause you won't find no grass stains

On the bottom of my feet
      A
The only home I've ever known - is out there on the street.

              D                                     A
     You call me insane - Honey, That's my middle name
          D                                     A
     And I don't care which way the wind will blow
                     E                         A
     'Cause I don't know - So down the road I go.


                    Musical turn around

  A
You see I tried to settle down - Not too long ago

You can lock my body up - But you can't calm my soul
         D
I don't want to hurt you - Or put you on the shelf
         A
But my daddy told me all my life

You've got to be yourself.


               Repeat the chorus

               Long instrumental

   D
I'm sure there's lots of guys out there

Who've learned to tow the line
                                      A
Compared to them my life may look a wreck
      D
But girl, you've been to college

So you ahould know by now
  E
And if you can't understand me 

What the hell do you expect

  A
I'm giving you fair warning - I'm gonna say goodbye

And when I'm walking out the door

Don't want to hear you cry
   D
There's so much highway out there

That I ain't never seen
     A
And all I need is cigarettes, guitars, and gasoline.


               Repeat the chorus

        A
Tag: Down the road I go
         A
     I'll see you around

        A
     'Cause I'm leaving town
        A
     Yeah, yeah, yeahhh      (fades out).
