Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[C][F][C][G][C]

[Verse 1]
[C]I've been around this
world about [F]twenty [C]times,
and I'm gonna make [G]it
twenty [C]-one.
There's gotta be a place
that [F]I haven't s[C]een,
I don't wanna be a [G]-missin' any fun[C].
I never met nobody that [F]I didn't like
[C]But no girl wants to han[G]g
around with [C]me
Cause I can't settle down
and [F]be a family man
[C]Down the road is whe[G]re I'll always be[C]
I [F]won't be standing still
just like a [C]big old highway sign
[F]When my time is up to lay [C]her down
Just [F]put some grass around me,
neath a [C]big ol' tree
Make [D]sure that I'm a -facin'
outta [G]town[Am]
[Bbdim]I took a [G]bre[C]ak in Louisiana
to [F]take a look around
[C]But there just wasn't [G]any place for [C]me
Cause I always get that restlessness
just [F]like the wayward [C]wind
Down the road is [G]where I'll
always [C]be[F][C]
[G][C]
[Ab]I've seen [Db]pretty things in Bangor,
Maine
[Gb]Strange things in Frisco
[Db]And there's some beauties
[Ab]up in Washington
[Db]I parked my bags in Texas
With a [Gb]lady down in Hou[Db]ston
Stayed a [Ab]while, but then I had [Db]to run
I guess I'll keep on tryin'
[Gb]to stop and settle down
[Db]I thought I'd do it down[Ab] in Tennessee
[Db]But all them country singers,
they're just [Gb]too tame for [Db]me
Down the road is where [Ab]I'll always [Db]be
No, I [Gb]won't be standin' still
just like a [Db]big ol' highway sign
When [Gb]my time is up to lay he[Db]r down
Just put [Gb]some grass around me,
need the [Db]big ol' tree,
make [Eb]sure that I'm a -facin'
out [Ab]of town[Bbm]
[Ab]I guess I ke[Db]ep on tryin'
to [Gb]stop and settle [Db]down,
I thought I had [Ab]her made in [Db]Tennessee
But all them country cowboys,
they just [Gb]too tame for m[Db]e,
down the road is [Ab]where I'll always [Db]be
Yeah, I guess I'll keep on tryin'
to [Gb]stop and settle down
[Db]Hey, I thought I had her m[Ab]ade
in Tenness[Db]ee
But all them country pickers,
they just [Gb]too tame for m[Db]e
So down the road as well there's me
