Rod Clements - Whisky Highway
[Intro]
G    C    F  C  G
[Verse 1]
When I was a young boy I didn't understand
Why it Ctook so long to grow to be a man
So, I Fstuck out my thumb, Csaid I'm gonna get there Gmy way
I never looked first, I never thought twice
And I Cnever cared much about taking advice
FNext thing I knew, I was Cheading down the Whisky GHighway
[Verse 2]
Well, the Whisky Highway looks all right
You can Cstart in the morning, you can run all night
But Fnobody tells you that it's Cgonna be a do-or-Gdie way
You can say what you like, but you can't say 'no'
And Cany way you look, you got a long way to go
You Fcan't turn back when you're Cheading down the Whisky GHighway
[Chorus]
Whisky Highway, Cnever gonna get me homeF  
Just leave me aClone on the Whisky GHighway
[Instrumental]
G    C    F  C  G
G    C    F  C  G
[Verse 3]
You can tell a whisky man, but you can't tell him much
No Cuptown preacher gonna kick away his crutch, and he
FCan't hide himself aCway down some dark Gbyway
I'm too far gone and I can't stop now
I'm Cgoing nowhere, well, I don't know how
FJust another poor fool Cheaded down the Whisky GHighway
[Chorus]
Whisky Highway, Cnever gonna get me homeF  
Just leave me aClone on the Whisky GHighway
[Chorus]
Whisky Highway, Cnever gonna get me homeF  
Just leave me aClone on the Whisky GHighway (just leave me alone)
[Chorus]
Whisky Highway, Cnever gonna get me homeF  
Just leave me aClone on the Whisky GHighway
[Chorus]
Whisky Highway, Cnever gonna get me homeF  
Just leave me aClone on the Whisky GHighwayF  
Just leave me aClone on the Whisky GHighway
[Outro]
G    C    F  C  G
