[Verse 1]
More road up ahead
My radio still broken
C9The spinning of the wheels and the fencline lead my Gway
GYour picture on the dash
Dand the need to fly so high
C9Are the only two things Dthat I can hold toGday
GI left you way down south
Dcrying at the rivers mouth
C9I got a show up north so I guess it's just as Gwell
GYou're still the one for me
DBut I'm the man I'll always be
C9And I won't be the one thaDt takes you straight to hGell
Cause IC9'm out here on my ownD  
GDrinkin' all aloC9ne
Thinkin' bout things aDnd what I left beEmhind
C9and I need you more right nDow
GTo give me redemption somC9ehow
Rollin' north of that RDed River liGne
[Instrumental]
G  C9  D  C9
G  C9  D  G
GSo don't you cry for me
DCause I can taste what you can't see
C9But always know you got a place in my hGeart
GI got an angel riding shotgun
DI got the devil in the back
C9and the war they wage iDs gonna tear me aGpart
[Chorus]
Cause IC9'm out here on my ownD  
GDrinkin' all aloC9ne
Thinkin' bout things aDnd what I left beEmhind
C9and I need you more right nDow
GTo give me redemption somC9ehow
Rollin' north of that RDed River liGne
GAs I'm talking to you now
DThe sun is going down
C9I don't know where I am, but God it makes me smGile
GI need just one more word coDming from your sweer lips
And I C9swear I'll call you bDack in a little whGile
[Chorus]
C9Cause I'm out here on my oDwn
Gtoo tired and halfway sC9toned
Thinkin' bout things      anDd what I left behiEmnd
C9and I need you more right nDow
Gto give me redemption somC9ehow
Rollin' north of that RDed River liGne

[Verse 1]

More road up ahead

My radio still broken

C9 G

The spinning of the wheels and the fencline lead my way

Your picture on the dash

and the need to fly so high

C9 D G

Are the only two things that I can hold today

I left you way down south

crying at the rivers mouth

C9 G

I got a show up north so I guess it's just as well

You're still the one for me

But I'm the man I'll always be

C9 D G

And I won't be the one that takes you straight to hell

C9 D

Cause I'm out here on my own

G C9

Drinkin' all alone

D Em

Thinkin' bout things and what I left behind

C9 D

and I need you more right now

G C9

To give me redemption somehow

D G

Rollin' north of that Red River line

[Instrumental]

G C9 D C9

G C9 D G

So don't you cry for me

Cause I can taste what you can't see

C9 G

But always know you got a place in my heart

I got an angel riding shotgun

I got the devil in the back

C9 D G

and the war they wage is gonna tear me apart

[Chorus]

C9 D

Cause I'm out here on my own

G C9

Drinkin' all alone

D Em

Thinkin' bout things and what I left behind

C9 D

and I need you more right now

G C9

To give me redemption somehow

D G

Rollin' north of that Red River line

As I'm talking to you now

The sun is going down

C9 G

I don't know where I am, but God it makes me smile

G D

I need just one more word coming from your sweer lips

C9 D G

And I swear I'll call you back in a little while

[Chorus]

C9 D

Cause I'm out here on my own

G C9

too tired and halfway stoned

D Em

Thinkin' bout things and what I left behind

C9 D

and I need you more right now

G C9

to give me redemption somehow

D G

Rollin' north of that Red River line
