I'M BLOWING HOLES IN THE MOON FOR THE MORNING 
   C                             G 
AT DAYLIGHT I CAN FINALLY BE SET FREE

OF A CRACKLIN, CRACKLIN ROADHOUSE LIGHT 
BUT THERE'S JUST NO COMFORT IN LOVIN A STRANGER 
SO I GUESS I'LL RIDE ALONE TONIGHT

FROM TOO MANY LOVERS LAID DOWN WITH LIES IN THEIR EYES 
G                                     Am 
WELL THEY BENT ME AND ROAD ME.....AND TRIED TO STEAL MY WILL

AND I SAID MY SWEET ANGEL MUST HAVE DROPPED ME 
AND I'M STILL OUT HERE AND I'M STRUGGLIN WITH MY LOAD 
BUT THERE'S ONE DAMN THING THIS HIGHWAY'S TAUGHT ME 
IT'S ONLY TRUE LOVE TAKE A GYPSY FROM THE ROAD
