Waylon Jennings - The road

Back ^Ghome, The ^Cfamilys eating^G dinner. Theres a fire, in the ^Cfireside warm and ^Gbright But I won't be there today, cause I ^Amgot a debt to ^Cpay And they ^Amdont let black sheep ^Dstray from the road ^Em No they ^Amdont let black sheep ^Dstray from the^G road

My ^Gthroat is ^Ccrying out for^G water Lord that ^Cwind is blowing ^Gcold That guard is watching me, like a ^Amhawk up in a ^Ctree And I'm ^Amlonging to be ^Dfree, from the road ^Em Yes I'm ^Amlonging to be ^Dfree, from the road ^G

Every ^Gbone, ^Cinside my body's^G aching And that guard dont ^Ccare if I live or ^Gdie He told me yesterday, son dont ^Amtry to get ^Caway, Or I'll ^Amlay you down to ^Dstay, by the^Em road Yes I'll ^Amlay you down to ^Dstay, by the^G road.
