  			verse 1: 
E                                                    B           A 
I left the cold and rain behind, I drove out west to Memphis  
A                      B             A         B      E 
South across the Mississippi line, I rolled my window down  
                                                      B 
Big river runnin' on my right, turtles on the banks a walkin'  
      A                      B            A          B       E 
Don't know how far I'm gonna get tonight, forty-nine keep on talkin'  


A                                                        B        E 
Some roads are made for drivin' fast, and some roads are made for walkin'  
A                                               B       E 
Some roads are made to ease my mind, forty-nine keep on talkin'

verse 2: 
E                                                      B 
Now me and her we called it love, what the hell did it matter  
A                    B                A           B        E 
But when the pushin' came to shove, I didn't have much to say  
                                                     B 
Guess I'm better off on my own, no she won't hear me knockin'  
     A                     B           A          B       E 
This west bound lane gonna be my home, forty-nine keep on talkin'

verse 3: 
E                                                          B 
See the black girl with long blonde hair, up on top of the levee  
A                         B              A         B       E 
What's she thinkin' 'bout standin there, what does she see today  
                                                        B 
A dusty haze in the settin' sun, the crows on the wires watchin'  
      A                   B           A          B       E 
I let two miles turn into twenty-one, forty-nine keep on talkin'
