_ _ _ _ _ Hello, Utah.
What do we got to do?
It's so good to be back on this stage, in this cool place.
_ I'm going to do a couple older songs of mine, get things [B] started here. _ _ _ _ _
_ In a westerly [E] direction, _ _ _ this [Gb] car [A] is my terrain. _ _ _
I'm [E] driving and I'm wondering _ _ [A] [E] what it is I'm [B] running from again. _ _ _
[Ab] And I feel [E] like an eight-year-old man, [E] _
holding [A] on to twenty-nine. _ _ _
And up [Abm] ahead on that [B] horizon _ [Eb] is _ the [E] California line. _ _ _
[Gbm] I've [A] heard enough _ [D] _ _ [A]
of my freedom [E] on the road. _ _ _
I never [Em] was good [B] with decisions.
[Gbm] _ _ [B] _
Oh, [A] that's what I've been told.
_ [D] _ [B] _
Up ahead a [E] truck's carrying a wild [Eb] load.
[E] _
A prefab [A] house cutting in.
[D] _ _ [A] _
[E] A kid in the front door and two [A] windows.
[E] _
Ain't sure whether to [B] cry or should [Eb] I laugh.
[B] _
You see, I broke a [E] home up myself once. _ _
[Ab] As I stumbled [A] to the door, _ _ read her note by the [B] dawn's [Eb] light. _ _
So don't you [E] come around here anymore.
[Abm] I've [A] heard enough _ [D] _ [A] _
of my [Gbm] freedom [E] on the road.
_ [A] _ [E] _
I never [Dbm] was good [B] with decisions.
[Abm] _ _ [B] _
Oh, [E] that's what I'm told. _ _ _ _
[Gb] Holding [A] on my ticket.
[D] _ [A] _
Because one [E] day I'll pay him a toll. _ _ _
Magic road [Gbm] rent or freedom.
_ _ [B] _
Did someone else [A] fall while becoming home?
_ [E] Yes, I [B] _ [E] will. _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ [A] _ There'll be no more pay-per-view [E] movies _ in these economy motels.
[B] _ [A] _ No more trash in the backseat [E] _ _ from Burger King or Taco Hill.
_ [A] _ No more playing match-up [Bb] cards for _ [G] the ladies in the [Db]
lounge.
_ [E] _ [Dbm] Think I'll leave a little something out there for the [E] next _ train. _ _
_ [A] Let me scratch.
[Am] Oh, _ whom [E] I mean it.
_ Yes, I mean it.
Oh, yes, [Gb] I do. _ _ _ _
I ain't gonna [Bm] lie.
_ [Eb] _ _ _ [Em] _
_ _ _ [E] And I know there's gotta be someone out there.
_ _ _ Who [A] believes I still have my home?
_ I got his [E] picture here in my back pocket.
_ _ Along with [Bm] these rocks I found [Gbm] down in Arizona.
I want to show him.
_ Then I'll [E] return to that awkward silence.
_ _ _ [Ab] There's a whole lot of work [A] I've never done. _
_ [G] _ [A] _ But [B] I know if I make these amends,
[Abm] _ [Gbm] _ I got a good chance of [E] regaining that trust of my long-lost son.
I had [A] me an up [B]-child.
[Am] Oh, I'm a freedom [E] on the road.
_ _ The good Lord, I [B] believe, [Eb] gonna help me.
[B] _ [Gbm] _ _ [E] Before I grow _ old,
I'll [Am] take my ticket.
_ It's the day I [E] pay my toll. _
_ _ Magic [G] road, [B] bridge of freedom.
_ _ _ Your [A] sweet freedom. _
_ _ _ [Am] _ _ _ _ _
_ _ I'm [E] coming home. _ _
[A] _ _ _ _ _ _ _
Amen.
[E] _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ [N] _ _ _ _
_ _ Thank you so much. _ _ _
_ _ [Ab] _ _ _ I so much love my job. _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ [N] _ _
