[Intro]

(2 bars)

[Verse]

Ran right by the house I grew up in

Right through the town I knew I was stuck in

Took mama to church, and me to the high school

Daddy to work, and then to a bar stool

There was a stretch, a Chevy could fly on

Gave us a Gravol, shoulder to cry on

Bm G

I found you, girl, and then I let you go

On the same damn road

[Chorus]

D A

The same two lanes that let me leave

Bm G

Are 'bout to bring you back to me

D A

I got out, but I want back in

Bm G

I'm prayin' maybe, I could be your baby again

D A

And these four wheels that got me gone

Bm G

Will turn around, drive all night long

D A G

I got lost, but I know my way back home

It's the same damn road

[Interlude]

(2 bars)

[Verse]

Flat and dust to cracked and crooked

One-way ticket, and this boy took it

Mama cried, daddy drank

She filled my belly, he filled my tank

Crossed my heart on the railroad tracks

Swore to God, I wasn't coming back

Bm G

But, oh, I guess you never know

[Chorus]

D A

'Cause the same two lanes that let me leave

Bm G

Are 'bout to bring you back to me

D A

I got out, but I want back in

Bm G

I'm prayin' maybe, I could be your baby again

D A

And these four wheels that got me gone

Bm G

Will turn around, drive all night long

D A G

I got lost, but I know my way back home

It's the same damn road

[Instrumental]

D A Bm G

D A G

[Pre-Chorus]

Bm A

I was born to run

So here I come

[Chorus]

D A

On the same two lanes that let me leave

Bm G

Are 'bout to bring you back to me

D A

I got out, but I want back in

Bm G

I'm prayin' maybe, I could be your baby again

D A

And these four wheels that got me gone

Bm G

Could turn around, drive all night long

D A G

I got lost, but I know my way back home

Bm A G

Yeah, there's the sign, just two more miles to go

On the same damn road

It's the same damn road
