_ _ _ [G] _ _ _ [A] _ _
_ [G] _ _ _ [A] _ _ _ _
_ Yeah, I'm ridin' on a rock [G] across the USA
_ [A] [Am] Ridin' on rocks [G] every night and every day
[A]
Ridin' on [G] rocks, boy, all the way
[A] Well, I'm [Am] ridin' on a rock [G] across the [A] USA
[Am] _ _ _ [A] _
_ _ _ _ _ Yeah, your [Am] life is long, [G] girl, your life is short
[A] But every [G] man, he gotta leave his mark
So I got [Am] my pencil, [G] I got my chalk
[A] There [Am] ain't a rock [G] made, I can't make talk
So I got my pencil, I got my chalk
And I'm ridin' on a rock, right on _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ [Am] Yeah, I'm ridin' on a rock across the [G] _
USA
[Am] Ridin' on a rock [G] every night and every day
[Am] Ridin' on rocks, boy, [G] all the way
Well, I'm ridin' on a rock across the [A] USA
_ [G] _ _
[A] _ _ _ _ [Am] _ And [D] I remember [C] down in _ Galveston
[D] A hurricane ripped [C] the sea
_ [Dm] The people there were [C] brave to the wind
[Am] Just to see what my [A] mark would be
[G] _ _ _ [Am] _ _ [D] So I climbed the cliffs [C] and reached the [Dm] top
With a pencil in my [C] hand
[Dm] I scribbled down [C] some of the mysteries
[Am] And I stopped at a [A] howlin' wind
_ [G] _ _ _ [Am] _ Yeah, I'm ridin' on a rock [G] across the USA
[Am] Ridin' on [G] rocks every night and every day
[Am] Wherever you're at, [G] I'll be ridin' your way
[A] Ridin' on [G] rocks across the USA
[Am] _ _ [G] _ _ [A] _ _ _ _
[Am] _ And [Dm] I remember down [C] in Los Angeles
[D] An earthquake shook [C] the land
[Dm] The people screamed for [C] the shakes to stop
[Am] But they needed [G] a [A] ridin' hand
[Am] _ So [A] _
_ _ [D] I found a rock [C] and I wrote a note
[Dm] And tossed it [C] in the sand _
[Dm] Soon as it hit, [C] well, the shaking [Am] stopped
And I'm right [G] on the road [A] again
_ [Am] _ _ _ _
_ Yeah, I'm ridin' on a rock [G] across the USA
_ [Am] Ridin' on [G] rocks every night and every [Am] day
Ridin' on rocks [G] across the USA
[A] Well, I'm ridin' on [G] rocks across the USA
