GWell these Highway Forty Amblues
D7I've walked holes in both my Gshoes
Counted the days since I've been Amgone
D7And I'd love to see the lights of Ghome
Wasted time and money Ctoo
D7Squandered youth in search of Gtruth
EmBut in the end I had to Amlose
Lord above I've paid my D7dues
Got the Highway Forty Gblues
The highway called when I was Amyoung
D7Told me lies of things to Gcome
Fame and fortune lies Amahead
D7That's what the billboard lights had Gsaid
Shattered dreams my mind is Cnumb
D7My money's gone stick out my Gthumb
EmMy eyes are filled with bitter Amtears
Lord I ain't been home in D7years
Got the Highway Forty Gblues
You know I've rambled all Amaround
D7Like a rolling stone from town to Gtown
Met pretty girls I have to Amsay
D7But none of them could make me Gstay
Well I've played the music halls and Cbars
D7Had fancy clothes and big fine Gcars
EmThings a country boy can't Amuse
Dixieland I sure miss D7you
Got the Highway Forty Gblues
