i hit the road Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[G]Cymbal crash, last call, 3 a.m.
Jackson, Mississippi I will see you again
Nex[C]t stop, Terre Haute,
[G]won't be no motel tonight

[Verse 2]
[D]Wel[C]l, old[G] 55[D], well,
[A]it's [D]been a long while
[G]Since then, we've both
gone a few miles
Seems like [C]every time we meet,
you take an[G]other piece off of my life
[D]

[Verse 3]
Well, if I'm [G]ragged 'round the edges,
and look a little hard
[D]Life ain't easy on this honky- tonk star
[A]Spend my soul in a thousand dives
[D]I've been on this highway
[Dm]since '75

[Verse 4]
[G]Mamma begged me to put the guitar down
[D]I should'a listened but
it's [Bm]too late now
[A]Left that farm in a beat- up Cadillac
[D]I hit t[Bm]he road a[A]nd the
road hit [C]back[G]
[C][G][D]

[Verse 5]
Well, I feelin' with a woman
down in Baton Rouge
[G]Sweet around the eyes
and farm raised too
And [C]you know, for a moment,
[G]I saw babies and dog[D]s[C][G]

[Verse 6]
But a [D]dog this old can't
learn nothin' new
[G]Lately, you know, it's all I can do
[C]To face another smokey room,
[G]sing another broken [D]love song

[Verse 7]
Well, if I'm [G]ragged 'round the edges,
and look a little hard
[D]Life ain't easy on this honky- tonk star
[A]Spend my soul in a thousand dives
[D]I've been on this highway since '75

[Verse 8]
[G]Mamma begged me to put the guitar down
[D]I should'a listened b[Bm]ut
it's too late now
[A]Left that farm in a beat- up Cadillac
[D]I hit t[Bm]he road a[A]nd
the road [F#m]hit ba[A]ck

[Verse 9]
[A]
Well, if I'm [G]ragged 'round the edges,
and look a little hard
[D]Life ain't easy on this honky- tonk star
[A]Spend my soul in a thousand dives
[D]I've been on this highway
[Bm]since [D]'75

[Verse 10]
[G]Mamma begged me to put the guitar down
[D]I should'a listened b[Bm]ut
it's too late now
[A]Left that farm in a beat- up Cadillac
[D]I hit t[Bm]he road a[A]nd
the road [F#m]hit back

[Verse 11]
[A]Though I knew it all but I didn't know jack
[D]I hit the r[A]oad and the road hit b[C]ack[G]
[D]
