Road Buddy Chords

Lyrics & chords

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

[Verse 1]
[C]We passed the stores,
we [G]passed the hotels
[C]Filled our car with gasoli[G]ne
We [C]drove that night, I [G]saw the moon
Almost [C]got us in an ac[G]cident
[C]And then at the rest [G]stop
When that wo[C]man tried to steal [G]my wallet

[Verse 2]
[C]It felt like an adven[G]ture
[Am]Isn't that what you would call it?
Isn't [F]that what you would call it?
You're my [D]road buddy,
but [Em]I'm lonely all the time
I [C]thought we'd be jok[G]ing,
having [Am]long talks on late [D]night drives

[Verse 3]
But you [C]drive so bad [G]I lost my patience
So [C]pass the chips and [G]turn the station
[C]This is not[G] a roman[Am]ce
[C]with the road[G][C][G]
[C]Where the moss grows up [G]the trees
To [C]where the bird [G]is rusty

[Verse 4]
[C]I thought we'd find each sto[G]ry like
[C]a snakeskin or an [G]ar rowhead
But we [C]only stop at fast [G]food places
They [C]hate their jobs, I [G]understand

[Verse 5]
[C]They try to act famili[G]ar,
but they're [Am]floating just above the land
And we are all [F]floating
You're my [D]road buddy,
but [Em]I'm lonely all the time

[Verse 6]
I [C]thought we'd show [G]that friendship could
[Am]be stronger than the cross[D]roads double back
[C]I thought I heard t[G]he Tori sing,
[C]I'll take [G]that thing [C]I
This is [G]not a ro[Am]mance with the road

[Verse 7]
[Am]
In those [D]cliffs are the same as in
[C]the magazines I have [G]at home
[D]And the tall grass reminds me of
[C]the same dreams I [G]had at home
I thought life was [Em]a road and I
wanted to begin it
I said, [C]my friend and I going [G]on a
trip so I could [Am]only stop a minute
[C]We go to the venting[G] machines
I [C]want to watch these kid
[G]s with their mother

[Verse 8]
[C]Sipping on their juice [G]boxes
and [C]smiling at each [G]other
[C]And maybe that's their Dad
[G]on the phone
[C]Saying, hey Mom, you [G]couldn't wait,
[C]go ahead, have din[G]ner
'Cause we're run[Am]ning just a little [F]late
But we're on our way

[Verse 9]
Road buddy, [D]road buddy,
[Em]I he[C]ard about the bo[G]xcars and the fa[Am]mily of travelers[D]
But there's [C]real estate sides in the [G]cornfields
I [C]know there's love,
[G]I bet there's trouble
But you just [C]can't spend
[Am]a lifetime on the road

[Verse 10]
[C]And there's something I fi[G]nally faced
I fi[C]nally think I come [G]from some place
[C]This is not[G] a roman[Am]ce with the road
