Everybody's got that girl, you know the one that got away

If whiskey was a time machine, I would try to drink her back to me

[Chorus]

There are highways and byways

Am G

Running east, west, north, and south

F C Am G

And you can sail into the harbor, see the planes touching down

F C

But I burned up every bridge

Am G

Just like Sherman did coming down from Atlanta

Dm G F C Am G

And I know there ain't no way back to Savannah, no, no, oh, woah

[Verse 2]

F C Am G

Yeah, I had some big city dreams, headed out on my own

And the truth is you can't get there from here

There are highways and byways
