[Verse]
[ch]A(sus2)[/ch]  D6              [ch]E(sus4)[/ch]
  I left home when I was seventeen
[ch]A(sus2)[/ch]       D6               [ch]E(sus4)[/ch]
  I just grew tired of fallin' down
F#madd11             D6  
 And I'm sure I was told
F#madd11        D6  
The lure of the road
         [ch]E(sus4)[/ch]
[Verse]
[ch]A(sus2)[/ch]       D6             [ch]E(sus4)[/ch]
  And all the answers that I started with 
[ch]A(sus2)[/ch]      D6               [ch]E(sus4)[/ch]
  Turned out questions in the end
F#madd11           D6  
  So years roll on by
F#madd11            D6  
  And just like the sky
         [ch]E(sus4)[/ch]            
[Chorus]
F#madd11            [ch]E(sus4)[/ch] D6  
 And the people who love me   still ask me
F#madd11       [ch]E(sus4)[/ch] D6  
  When are you coming  back to town
[ch]A(sus2)[/ch]       Bm7     
 And I answer   quite frankly
[ch]A(sus2)/C#[/ch]                D6  
  When they stop building roads
[ch]A(sus2)[/ch]               [ch]E(sus4)[/ch]    [ch]A(sus2)[/ch]

  When are you coming  back to town
[ch]A(sus2)[/ch]       Bm7     
 And I answer   quite frankly
[ch]A(sus2)/C#[/ch]                D6  
  When they stop building roads
[ch]A(sus2)[/ch]                   [ch]E(sus4)[/ch]  F#madd11       [ch]E(sus4)[/ch]
  And there ain't no more highways to be found

[ch]A(sus2)[/ch]       Bm7     
 And I answer   quite frankly
[ch]A(sus2)/C#[/ch]                D6
