Martin Sexton - "Freedom of The Road" chords
Start Jamming...
Roll it.
Okay.
In a westerly [E] direction, this car is [A] my trade game.
[D] [A]
I'm [E] driving and I'm wondering [G#m] where
[E] this [G#] I'm running [B] from again.
[F#m]
[E] And I feel like an eight year old man, holding on to [A] twenty nine.
And up ahead on the [B] horizon is [G#] the [E] California line.
[F#m] I'm fighting now, [A] [G#m] for my freedom [E] on the road.
And then when it was good with [G#m] decisions, no.
[Gm] [F#m] At [F#] least that's what I've [A] been told.
[F#] [B] Up ahead a truck's [E] carrying a wild load.
A [A] prefab house cut in half.
A cute [E] little front door and two [G#] windows low.
[G#m] I ain't sure whether to [B] cry, or should I lie.
You see I broke the home up [E] myself once.
[E]
As I stumbled [A] to the door.
[E] I read that note by the [B] door's light.
[F#m]
Said [E] don't you come around anymore.
[A] I'm fighting now, [D]
[A] [E] for my freedom on the road.
And then when [A] it was good with [B] decisions, no.
[G#m]
[B] At least that's what I've been told.
[A] Holding on to my ticket.
Because [Em] one day I'll pay my toll.
[F#] [E] Magic road [F#m] grants your freedom.
[G#m] To someone else, [A] before I'm coming home.
[E] [F#m] [E]
[A] There'll be no more pay-per-view movies.
[G#m]
[D] And these economy motels.
[A] No more trash in my back seat.
[G#m] From Burger Queen, [E] or Taco Hell.
No [A] more playing my trump card now.
[A#] [C#m] For the ladies [G] in the lounge.
I think I'll leave a little something out there.
For the [E] next traveling man.
That, that [A] is ground.
And [E] I mean it, yes I do.
[G#m]
[C#m] [G#m] I [C#m] [F#]
ain't [C#] gonna lie.
[D#] [F#]
[B] And I know there's gotta be someone out [E] there.
[B]
Who [G] still believes [A] I got that home.
[G#m] I carry his picture in [E] my back pocket.
Long as rocks are found in Arizona, long shot.
[Gm]
[F#m] And I know I'll return to [E] that awkward silence.
There's so much work I've [A] never known.
But I know if I make [B] these amends.
[F#m] [G#m] I got a good chance [E] of regaining that trust.
Of my long lost son.
I had [A] me enough child.
[Am] For my freedom on [E] the road.
[F#] The good Lord gonna [B] come and help me.
[F#m] Before I grow [E]
old.
[A]
I'll [F#m] investigate [A] it.
[Am]
[G] It's to tell a [E] painless tale.
[A] [E] Magic [B] road, grant your freedom.
[A] I'm
[F#] coming [A#]
[G#] [F#m]
[C#] home.
[A] Give [D] [C] [E] me a hand.
[A] [Em] [E]
