[Verse 1]
CNo money in my Dmpocket but a Fcigarette in my Cmouth
CNo fixed destiAmnation cept D7some vague direction G7south
FBedroll on my Gshoulder a Cguitar for EmcompAmany
CSome Woody Guthrie sGongs and the Froad in front of Cme
C                   G            F                C
[Verse 2]
CDidn't need to hear a Dmfreight train to Fknow Sonny Terry's Charp
CWas an aching cry for Amfreedom D7whistling in my G7dark
FA simple leap of Gfaith that Creason Emcan't Amerode
CGrabbed my coat and Gmy guitar and Fheaded for the Croad
C                   G            F                C
[Verse 3]
CAt night my coat a Dmpillow, I Flay memorising Cstars
CLike some deserted Amlover my D7arm around my G7guitar
FPromises get Gbroken, Creason Emsearches Amrhyme
CConscience held to Gransom, hostage Fto the road and Ctime
C                   G            F                C
[Verse 4]
CBelow the lies of Dmheaven a frightened Fworld must Cspin
CDiscerning between Amthings you're taught and D7what you learned G7within
FThe evening sky is Gfading Cto the Emcolour of my Amjeans
CI'm writing with my Gfinger in the Fdust that falls from Cdreams
C                   G            F                C
[Verse 5]
CBeyond the endless Dmnight, I Fglimpsed infiniCty
CI shivered at the Amjoke until the D7rain soaked into G7me
FAnd woke me at the Groadside just Cas the day Emwas dAmawning
CGrabbed my guitar Gand my coat and Fwalked into the Cmorning
CGrabbed my guitar Gand my coat and Fwalked into the Cmorning
