N.C.

Have I got every^Fthing?^G Am I ready to ^Cgo? Is it gonna be ^Fwild, is it gonna be the ^Gbest time? Or ^Amam I just saying so-o-o-^Fo?^G Am I ready to ^Cgo? What do I ^Fhear when I say I ^Ghear the call of the ^Croad?

N.C.

I think it started with ^Amdriving More ^Fspeed, more ^Gdeals, more ^Amsky, more ^Gwheels More ^Amthings to leave be^Fhind ^G Now it's all in a ^Cday for the modern mind And I am ^Ftravelin^Gg a^Cgain

Calling this a ^Fghost town^G and where is the ^Amheartland? And I'm a^Ffraid, oh,^G was there any good ^Amreason That I had to ^Fgo, when all I ^Gknow is, I can never come ^Amback, yeah, ^Fyeah^{G C}

Traveling, I made a ^Ffriend,^G he had a trouble in his ^Chead And all he coul^Fd say, that he knew that the ^Gbottle ^AmDrank the woman from his b^Fed,^G from his ^Cbed He said, "^FI'm not gonna ^Glose that way a^Cgain"

But sober is just like ^Amdriving More ^Fjoy, more ^Gdread, someone ^Amturns her ^Ghead And ^Amsmiles and disap^Fpears ^G He's gotta take it like it ^Cis and it goes too fast And he is^F just like ^Gme, caught^F in-be^Gtween, no^Am sage advisor Does^F weary mean wiser? And^Dm someday, will I^Am sing the mountains that ^Fcarried me away Away from ^Dmhome and hometown boys like ^Gyou

Yeah, what about ^Fus?^G Was it really ^Cthat bad? Oh, its hard to be^Flieve I want a highway ^Groad-stop ^AmMore than all the times we h^Fad^G on little ^Cdirt roads What am I ^Freaching for, that's ^Gbetter than a hand to ^Chold?

N.C.

It really was about ^Amdriving Not ^Ffame, not ^Gwealth, not driving a^Amway from my^Gself It's just my^Amself drove away from ^Fme ^G And now I gotta get it ^Cback and it goes so fast So I am ^Ftraveling^G a^Cgain

Sitting at the ^FAll-Night,^G picking up a ^Ampen And I'm a^Ffraid, oh,^G was there any good ^Amreason That I had to ^Fgo, when all I ^Gknow is, I am ^Amall alo^Fne a^Cgain
