[E]
This road I'm on is blacktop and gravel It's a faded [A] blue line, this road [E] I travel
[A] It's a well [E]
worn path, it's a coal [A] bar deck [E] It's a pregnant [A] sleeping on a dead [B]
man's sweat
And [E] I'm a loader, [A] faster [B] than a [E]
locomotive [A] Tougher [B] than the edge of [E] the Rockies
[C#m] Hotter than smoking [A]
gum [B] Ragged as the road [E] I'm on, this road I'm on
It's been cracked by the cold, scorched [A] by the sun, searched [E] by the sun
And [A] it's a working [E] back way in, it's a [A] pickaxe swinging
It's [E] steel [D] wheels turning [A] on steel [B] wheels sink
And [E] I'm a loader, [A]
faster [B] than a [E] locomotive [A]
Tougher [B] than the edge of [E] the Rockies
[C#m]
Hotter than smoking [A] gum [B]
Ragged as the road [E] I'm on
[C#m]
[A]
[C#m]
[B]
[E]
This road lies ahead, like life on a brush It's a [A] virgin canvas, great from [E] human touch
[A] And it's far [E] from the taking, or the leaving [A] behind
[E] It's a ghost [A] of the past with a future [B]
to find
[E] And I'm a loader, [A] faster than [B] a [E]
locomotive [A] Tougher [B] than the edge [E] of the Rockies
[C#m] Hotter than smoking [A]
gum [B] Ragged as the [G#m]
road
[A] [E] It's got me rolling, [A]
faster [B] than a [E] locomotive [A]
Tougher [B] than the edge of [E] the Rockies
[C#m]
Hotter than smoking [A] gum [B]
Ragged as the road [E] I'm on
