D					C 
That man in the mirror, staring back at me 
G				D 
Ain't the man I used to see 
F					G					D 
I've been walking the line a long time, need a change 
D				C 
Breaking my back, working double shifts 
G						D 
The weight of the world's getting hard to lift 
F				G							D 
I'm starting to think I need to break a link in this chain 

G					F 
Something's got to give 
C					G 
This ain't no way to live 
D				C 
Put me on a highway, the interstate 
G				D 
A dirt road to anyplace 
F				G 
Long as I'm long gone 
D						C 
Chasing down some blue sky in my old truck 
G					D 
Tune the world out, turn the radio up 
F				G		D 
Sing along to my freedom song 

Hey, I got a good woman and she understands 
Every now and then, her old man needs some downtime 
To clear his mind and unplug 
This time, tomorrow, you won't see my face 
There'll be one less rat running in this race 
I'll be soothing my soul with a fishing pole 
That's what I love 

Put me on a highway, the interstate 
A dirt road to anyplace 
Long as I'm long gone 
Chasing down some blue sky in my old truck 
Tune the world out, turn the radio up 
Sing along to my freedom song, yeah 

Put me on a highway, the interstate 
A dirt road to anyplace 
Long as I'm long gone 
Chasing down some blue skies in my old truck 
Tune the world out, turn the radio up 
Sing along 
Sing along, yeah 
Sing along to my freedom song 
Yeah, now 

That's right 
Oh, oh 
Oh, oh, yeah 
Oh, oh, oh 
Oh, oh, yeah 
Come on 
Yeah, yeah, yeah 

Oh, oh, oh 
Oh, oh, yeah...
