Intro 1

Verse 1
D 
He pulled out in a cloud
G 
of dust
C 
Laying rubber and spewing rust
Em 
D 
And on any road he'd take
C 
He'd have his foot on the pedal and
Am 
D 
G 
my heart on the brake
D 
Underneath the smooth tar curves
G 
C 
A road is only dust and dirt
Em 
On a lonely interchange
D 
C 
D 
The signs all look the same
G 
A 
Am 
D 
'Cause a road is just a   road
C 
D 
and a feeling's just a feeling
G 
A 
Am 
D 
No matter where you go,
C 
D 
from Waterloo to Wichita
G 
A 
Am 
D 
A road is just a   road that
C 
G 
the one you love is leaving on
C 
Em 
And midnight's another dawn,
D 
G 
100 miles ago
D 
His wheels spun out of sight of me
G 
C 
Believing that I'd set him free
Em 
D 
But I'd heard the voice of the prisoner
C 
Saying he couldn't get
G 
Am 
D 
enough of her
G 
D 
You go by land, you go by air
G 
C 
You go by sea, hell I  don't care
Em 
D 
You can go  any way you choose
C 
Wearing out the soles of
D 
your traveling shoes
G 
A 
D 
And a road is just a road and
C 
D 
a feeling's just a feeling
G 
A 
D 
No matter where you go,
C 
D 
from Bangor, Maine to Bakersfield
G 
A 
D 
C 
A road is just a road that the one
G 
you love is leaving on
C 
Em 
And midnight's another dawn,

C 
Em 
D 
G 
F 
C 
And every sleepless night I see him
G 
C 
Screaming by the scenery
F 
C 
Not noticing another mile
G 
That's rolled down between
C 
D 
him and me
G 
A 
D 
C 
'Cause a road is just a road and
D 
a feeling's just a feeling
G
