2. Well, the feel of the wheel delivers me

D

from a life where I don't wanna be

A

and the diesel smoke with every stroke

G A

sings a song with a heavy note.

D

And ramblin’ is the life I chose,

D

sittin’ here between the doors,

A

and the yellow line a keepin’ time,

G A - - - - - - - - - D

the things that's a runnin’ through my mind, through my mind.

2. On through the snow and the drivin’ rain,

D

to the forty-below in Bangor Maine,

A

to the hundred-and-ten in the Texas sun,

G A

there ain't no road that we ain't run.

G

Up through the Colorado mountain tops,

D

down to the desert where the Reno stops,

A

north to the green of Coeur D' Alene,

G A - - - - - - D

there ain't no road that we ain't seen, we ain't seen.

Roll on (roll on), big mama, the highway is our home.
