[Db] [Gm]

[F] [G]
[F] [Gm]
[F] I [Gm] was born in Carolina, grew back in [D] the swamp.
I [Gm] was a happy country boy, till television [Am] came along.
[Gm] It kept showing in faraway places and it sure was [F] a bitch.
Cause [Gm] every time I think about traveling, well my [F] feet would start to itch.
[Gm] So I borrowed my daddy's suitcase and picked up my guitar.
[F] I [Gm] walked up to the highway and I flagged down [F] the [Gm] car.
I hitchhiked out to Kansas City, did it as fast as I could.
My life was all before me and that highway [F] sure looked good.
[G] I took that highway, [D] let it go my way.
[C] Crank up the big wheel, let them [G] roll on.
Like [Dm] a fast train, [C] give me that passing lane and [D] I'll be gone.
[A] My [Gm] lonely brother down the road, moved on down to Dallas, cause I got [Am] changed.
I [Gm] was playing funky music, more than city [Am] folks [Gm] today.
I had money in my pocket, I had fun in my [C] bed.
[Gm] But I've been here a year now and it's getting [F] to my [Gbm] head.
Cause I've [Gm] been rocked to the moon, I've been [F] disco to death.
I've been [Gm] funk rocked and punk rocked till I can't [F] catch my [Gm] breath.
I've been ragged till I'm ragged, I've been new wave till I'm [F] blind.
But [Gm] I've got a solution for my funky [F] state of mind.
Just [G] give me that highway, [D] let it go my way.
[C] Crank up the big wheel, let them [G] roll on.
I'll be like a [Dm] fast train, [C] give me that passing lane [D] and I'll be gone.
[G] No [Bb] more keys just as long as I can move.
[A] I can't stop now [Gm] baby.
[B] [A] [Bb]
Just give [Gm] [Bb]
[Gm]
[F] [G] me that highway, [D] let it go my way.
[C] Crank up the big wheel, let them [G] roll on.
I'll be like a fast train, [C] give me that passing lane and [D] I'll be gone.
Back in my [Bb] lonely little brother down the road.
