Freedom Of The Road Chords by Martin Sexton

[Bb] _ In a westerly direction, [Ab] _ _
_ this car is my train.
_ [Db] _
[Ab] _ _ I'm driving and I'm wondering _ _
[Eb] what it is I'm running from [Bb] again. _ _
_ _ And I feel [Eb] like an 80 year old man, [G] _ [Eb] but I'm holding on [Ab] to 29.
_ [Db] _
_ [Ab] And up ahead on that [Bb] horizon _ is _ the California [Eb] _ line.
_ _ _ _ [Ab] _ _ _ _
_ Well, this [Eb] freedom of the road _ never _ was good [Bb] with decision. _ _ _
_ At least that's what I've [Eb] been told. _
_ [Bb] _ _ _ _ [Eb] _ _ _
_ [Bb] _ Up ahead a truck's [Ab] carrying a [F] white load.
[Eb] _ A prefab house [Ab] cutting hair. _
[Db] _ [Ab] _ A cute little front door [Eb] and two windows low. _
_ I'm not sure whether to cry [Bb] or should I laugh. _
_ _ You see, I've roved the home of [Eb] myself once. _
_ _ When I stumbled [Ab] to that door, _
[Db] _ [Ab] _ I read that note by the [Bb] dawn's [Gm] light.
[Gbm] _ [Bb] _ _ Said, don't you [Eb] come round here _ anymore.
I've [Ab] had enough [Bbm] _ [Ab] _ of this freedom [Eb] of the road. _
_ _ Never was good [Bb] with decisions. _
_ _ Oh, that's [Eb] what I've been told.
_ _ I've been holding [Ab] on to this ticket, Lord.
_ _ Because one day [Eb] I'll pay this toll.
_ _ And Magic Road [Bb] grants your freedom. _
_ _ There's someone else where [Ab] I'll be coming home.
_ [Eb] _ _ _ _ _ _ _
Yeah, I know, I know.
[Ab] _ There'll be no more pay-per-view movies.
_ [Eb] _ And these economy _ motels.
_ [Ab] _ No more trash in my back seat.
_ _ [Eb] _ From Mickey D's or Taco Bell.
_ _ [Ab] _ No more playing my truck _ card.
[Gb] _ [A] For the ladies in _ _ _ [Eb] the_
I think I'll leave a little something. _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ [Ab] _ _ _
_ _ And I mean it, [Eb] yes, I mean [Dm] it.
[Cm] Oh, yeah, yeah.
_ _ _ [F] _ _ [Bb] _
[F] _ Mm, mm, [Bb] mm, mm. _ _
_ _ And I know there's got [Eb] to be someone out there.
_ _ Who thinks I still [Ab] have my home. _
[Bbm] _ [Ab] _ I got his picture right [Eb] here in my back pocket, y'all.
[Ab] _ [Eb] Along with some rocks I found [Bb] in Arizona I want to show.
_ _ And I know I'll return to [Eb] that awkward silence. _
_ _ So much work I've [Ab] never known. _
But _ I know this [Bb] man must make amends.
[Fm] _ [Bb] I know my [Eb] traveling days are done.
And I know it all too well.
Because I've had [Ab] enough, y'all. _
_ Of this freedom on [Eb] the road. _
_ Lord, won't you help me [Bb] with my decision. _ _
_ _ Before [Eb] I grow old. _
Oh, and I'm feeling every day.
[Ab] I'm holding on this ticket. _
_ Because today [Eb] I pay this toll. _
_ Magic Lord, grant your [Bb] freedom. _ _
_ _ Your sweet [Ab] freedom.
_ Because [Eb] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ I'm coming home.
_ _ [Fm]
Mm.
_ _ [Bb] _ [Eb] _ _ _ [Ab] _ [Eb] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
