[F] [Bb]
[C] [F]
He was standing by the highway with a sign that just said mother when he heard a driver coming [G] about a half a [C] mile away.
So he [F] held the sign up higher so no decent soul could miss it.
It was ten degrees or colder down [C] by Boulder Dam that [F] day.
He was raised up in Milwaukee, though he never was that famous.
He was just [F] a road musician [G] to the taverns he [Cm] would [C] go.
[F] Singing songs about the ramblings, the loving girls and gambling, how the world [F] fell on his shoulder [C] back in Boulder, I [D] don't [F] know.
Well, hidden beside an Arizona, he heard the lady listening to each word that he was saying, to each [G] line [C] that he would write.
So he [F] sat down by her table and he talked about the weather, 98.6 and rising down [C] by Boulder Dam that [Fm] [Dm] night.
[F] And she told him [Bb] she would take [C] him [Gm] for [Eb] a ride in the [F] morning sun.
Back in Boulder, [Bb]
he had told [C] her, I don't know [Eb] when I've had a [F] better friend.
Now he's training of his martin, but his troubles are not over.
His [Bb] feet are almost [F] frozen and [G] the sun [C] is sinking low.
[F] Won't you listen to me, brother?
If you ever love your mother, please pull off on the shoulder if [G] you're going [C] Milwaukee way.
[F] It's ten degrees and getting [C] colder down by Boulder [Fm] Dam today.
