Written by: Robert Earl Keen
Artist: Robert Earl Keen

From: Andrew at lyonap.force9.co.uk
[Intro]
G C G C D G
G
When I was a young boy
C
The only things that really mattered were
G Em C
Making friends and having fun
G
Walkin' down that railroad track
C
'Til you reached the river
G
Turn around and head on back
C D G
When the day is done
C
Ain't it like they always say
D
Everybody goes their own way
G C
Nobody knows, no one can tell
G
It's always been the same for me
C
Guess it's just the way it must be
G D C
Headin' down that dusty trail
G
When I was a young man
C
The only things that got me goin' were
G Em C
Gettin' high and chasin' love
G
Lyin' down beside my girl
C
On the banks of the river
G
With nothing but some mustang wine
C D G
And all the stars above
C
Ain't it like they always say
D
Everybody goes their own way
G C
Nobody knows, no one can tell
G
It's always been the same for me
C
Guess it's just the way it must be
G D C
Headin' down that dusty trail
G D C
It's a twistin, turnin' windin' road
G D C G C
I get lost and broken down
G D C
I'm a stumbler and it won't be long
G D C
'Til I stumble back around
[Solo](chords as verse except last line)
C D C C D G
G
Since I became my own man
C
Everything that matters to me is
G Em C
Making sure I'm staying true
G
To my friends and the ones I love
C
'Til I cross that river
G
All alone I'm movin' on
C D G
Until my time is through
C
Ain't it like they always say
D
Everybody goes their own way
G C
Nobody knows, no one can tell
G
It's always been the same for me
C
Guess it's just the way it must be
G
It's always been the same for me
C
Guess it's just the way it must be
G
It's always been the same for me
C
Guess it's just the way it must be
G D C
Headin' down that dusty trail
