Well these Highway [F#m] 40 blues,
[B] I'd walk, hold, and bolt my [E] shoe
Counted the days since I've been [F#m] gone, [B] and I'd love to see it last [E] long
Waste of time and [A] money too, [B]
just wondering if [E] you'd search and prove
[B]
[C#m] But in the end I [F#] had to lose the Florida Club, I paid my [B] dues
Got the Highway 40 [Em] blues, [E]
the highway car when I was [F#m] young
[B]
Told me lies and [E] things to come, fame and fortune lies [F#m] ahead
[B]
Walked the billboard [E] like a sad, shattered dreams my [A] mind is numb
[B] My money's gone, stick [E] out my [B] thumb,
[C#m] eyes are filled with bitter [F#] tears
Lord I ain't been home [B] in years, got the Highway [E] 40

know I've rambled all [F#m] around, [B]
like a rolling stone from town [E] to town
Met pretty girls I have [F#m] to say, [B]
but none of them could make [E] me stay
Well I've played the music [A] halls and the bars, [B]
had fancy clothes and big [E] fine [B] cars
[C#m]
Land's a country boy [F#] can't you, Disneyland it sure [B] means to you
