Verse 1
(E minor) (A minor) And for (G major) now, (E minor) again,
we'd like to welcome back (A minor) Tim
Keller (E minor) . (A minor) (G major)
(E minor) Thank (G major) you. Thank you. (E minor) piano plays
(A minor) (D major) (G major) (E minor)
(A minor) softly (D major)
Eight (G major) een wheels of music,
driv (E minor) ing highway five
Not (A minor) my kind of music,
not my favorite drive
An (D major) d (G major) I would never choose it,
this (E minor) darkened highway drawn
The (A minor) way it just goes on and
on and on (D major) and on alone
Maybe (G major) this guy Roosevelt,
things (E minor) won't be so lean.
I (A minor) can join my family,
stop hauling gasoline. (D major)
This dark (G major) ness is so thick and close,
the road (E minor) s all wind and sway.
It (A minor) will still be thick and close,
unload (D major) ing in Coos Bay.
This dark (G major) ness just unfolds,
it (E minor) never seems to end.
(A minor) Then I'll make it home,
then I'm off again.
(D major) I (C major) have worked for busi (D major) nessmen, (A minor)
I (G major) have worked on farm (E minor) s,
and (C major) I've worked for this (D major) oil (A minor) company. (G major)
And (C major) I've worked for my (D major) family,
(G major) I've worked for my coun (E minor) try,
but (C major) never have (G major) I ever
worked (D major) (G major) for me. (E minor)
Never have I (G major) ever (D major) worked
for me. (G major) (E minor) (A minor) (D major)
I (G major) left Cape Girardeau
when (E minor) I was twenty -two.
Working (A minor) in that hardware store
just wasn't much (D major) to do.
And (G major) I held my thumb in the air
and fol (E minor) lowed it out west
The (A minor) land of opportunity,
the land of my success (D major)
And (G major) I met my wife at the pier
they built (E minor) at Malibu
And (A minor) we have moved from town to town
as our baby grew
(D major) this (G major) land ain't no promised
land of op (E minor) portunity
I (A minor) have been a hired hand
and never (D major) worked (A minor) for (D major) me
I (C major) have worked for businessmen (D major)
I (G major) have worked on farm (E minor) s
and (C major) I worked for this (D major) oil company (G major)
And (C major) I've worked for my family, (D major)
and (G major) I've worked for my country, (E minor)
but never have I (A minor) ever (D major)
worked for (G major) me,
never (E minor) have (C major) (E minor) I (A minor) (G major) ever
(D major) worked for (G major) me. (E minor) (A minor) (D major)
They've (G major) got a call for me
to haul some gas to (E minor) Bonneville
My one (A minor) night off, it's double time,
so (D major) I guess I will
Cause (G major) every day spent living
is (E minor) just more money spent
And every (A minor) mile I spend alone,
we're closer (D major) to the rent
And (G major) I have dreams
that don't include Coos
(E minor) Bay or Bonneville
But (A minor) I guess I can hold my dreams
until I pay (D major) the bills
I've (G major) worked long and hard
to make the (E minor) biggest dreams come true
Dreams (A minor) possessed by richer men,
men (D major) I (A minor) never (D major) knew
And (C major) I have worked for busi (D major) nessmen,
(G major) and I have worked on farm (E minor) s,
and (C major) I have worked for
this (D major) oil company, (G major)
and (C major) I have worked for my fam (D major) ily,
an (G major) d I have worked for my coun (E minor) try,
but (C major) never have I ever
(D major) worked for me. (G major) (E minor)
Never (C major) have (A minor) I (G major) ever
(D major) worked for (G major) me. (E minor)
