[E][F#m][D][Em][G][Em][D][B][Em][G][Em]
[D]
Well, [B]I was

[Verse 1]
[Em]
born in Carolina, way back in the swamp
I [A]was [Em]a happy country boy
'til television came along
It showed them far away places
and it sho' was a bitch
'Cause [D]every time [Em]I'd quit my traveling,
well, my feet [D]would start to itch
So [B]I bor

[Verse 2]
[Em]rowed my daddy's
suitcase and picked up my gui[D]tar
I [Em]walked up the highway and
I flagged down a car
[F#m]I hitchh[D]iked out to[Em] Kansas
City just as far as I could
[D]My lif[Em]e was all before me and that
highway [D]sure looked good

[Verse 3]
Gimme [E]that highway, better [B]go my way
Crank up the [A]big wheels,
let 'em roll [B]on
I'm [A]movin' like [E]a f[Em]ast train,
gimme [A]that passing lane
And I'm [B]gone, I'm packin' my
[D]load a little [G]further down the [Em]road

[Verse 4]
I moved on down to Dallas
soon as I got the [D]chance
[F#]I was pl[Em]ayin' funky music for
them city folks to dance
[F#m]And I [B]had mo[Em]ney in my pocket,
I had fun in my [F#m]bed
But [Em]I've been here a year now and
it's gettin' to my [D]head
'Cause [B]I've been

[Verse 5]
[Em]rocked into ruin,
I've been [D]discoed to death
[F#m]I've been [Em]funk rocked and punk rocked
'til I can't catch my breath
I've [B]been [Em]ragged 'til I'm ragged,
I've been new waved 'til I'm [D]blind
[Em]But I've got a solution for my
[G]funky state of [D]mind

[Verse 6]
Gimme [Em]that [E]highway,
better [B]go my way
Crank up the [A]big wheels,
let 'em roll [E]on[B]
I've [A]movin' like [E]a fast t[Em]rain,
gimme [A]that passing lane
And I'll be [B]gone, no more blues just as [D]long as I can [Em]move

[Verse 7]
Gimme [Em]that [E]highway,
better [B]go my way
Crank up the [A]big wheels,
let 'em [Em]roll [E]on
I've movin' like a fast train,
gimme [A]that passing lane
And I'm [B]gone, I'm packin' my load a little [G]further down the road
