nd Fret 
  
  
Intro: C  G  C  G   C  
  
                   G              
He pulled out in a cloud of dust 
C                 F 
Laying rubber and spewing rust 
       Am            G 
And on any road he'd take 
                  F                         Dm           G    C 
Oh, he'd have his foot on the pedal, but my heart on the brake 
  
  
               G                   
Underneath the smooth tar curves 
  C            F         
A road is only dust and dirt 
     Am          G    
On a lonely interchange 
    F         Dm        G    
The signs all look the same 
  
  
         C              G          F                G       
'Cause a road is just a road and a feeling's just a feeling 
   C                G        F              G       
No matter where you go, from Bakersfield to San Antone 
  C              G             F               Am/E        F 
A road is just a road when the one you love is leaving on 
            Am/E       G                C  
Midnight's another dawn, hundred miles ago 
  
  
                       G                   
His wheels spun out of sight of me 
      C                F         
Oh, believing that I'd set him free 
        Am                     G    
But I'd heard the voice of the prisoner 
          F             Dm       G    
Saying he couldn't get enough of her 
  
  
              G                   
You can go by land and you can go by air 
          C         F         
You go by sea, hell I don't care 
Am             G    
Go any way you choose 
F                             Dm         G    
Wearing out the soles of your travelling shoes 
  

         C              G          F                G       
'Cause a road is just a road and a feeling's just a feeling 
   C                G        F                G       
No matter where you go, from Bangor, Maine to El Paso 
  C              G             F               Am/E        F 
A road is just a road when the one you love is leaving on 
            Am/E        G                 C    Bb 
Midnight's another dawn, a hundred miles ago 
  
  
Bridge: 
                    F       
And every sleepless night I see him 
C                F     
Screaming by the scenery 
    Bb        F       
Not noticing another mile 
       C                   F  
That's rolled down between him and me 
            G    C G 
Oh, him and me____
