[Intro] A A [Verse 1]

I got ^Amoney in my pocket and a ^Aguitar in my hand These ^Flonely nights without you are ^Fmore than I can stand I ^Dwork like a puppet. . . But it's ^Dtime to cut the ^Astrings ^A

[Verse 2]

Well, I ^Ahit the ground running. . . And I ^Awon't be looking back I'll be ^Flike a locomotive headed ^Fdown a one-way track It ^Dwon't take too long, ^Djust you wait and ^Asee ^A

[Refrain]

As ^Glong as it will lead me back ^Dto you ^CAny old stretch of ^Dblacktop will ^Ado ^A

[Verse 3]

^DNorth, south, east or west, been ^Deverywhere it seems ^AUptown rooms and honky-tonks don't ^Afeel like home to me I'll be ^Dstepping out the rhythm while I'm ^Dsinging a new song And it's ^Aknowing where I'm ^Cgoing that will ^Dkeep me moving ^Eon ^E

[Verse 4]

Turn my ^Acollar to the wind and put my ^Athumb up in the air ^FFlag a diesel down or catch a ^Fbus from anywhere ^DColorado, California, ^Dor even Kalama^Azoo ^A

As ^Glong as it will lead me back ^Dto you ^CAny old stretch of ^Dblacktop will ^Ado ^A
