Verse 1
G 
Ever since I was a child,
B 
I loved to wander wild
Em 
Through the bright city lights,
A 
D 
C 
And find myself a life I could call my own.
G 
C 
G 
It was always my ambition
B 
To see Piccadilly,
Em 
A 
Ramble and roam around Soho
D 
And Pimlico and Savile Row,
C 
G 
And walk down the Abbey Road.
D 
C 
So I saved all my money
D 
C 
And packed up my clothes,
Em 
And I said good- bye to my friends
D 
And my folks back home.
C 
A 
D 
Ebdim 
B 
Em 
C 
And I left for a life of       my own.
A 
D 
I left for a life on the road.

D 
G 
I'm a real hungry tyke,
D 
G 
And I know what I like.
D 
G 
And I know where I'm goin'
D 
To those bright city lights.
C 
C#dim 
Oh yeah, oh yeah,

Eb 
Em 
C 
This time I'm gonna get there.

I'm bound for a life

Verse 3
G 
D 
When I arrived in Houston,
Em 
C 
I was little more than a child.
G 
And I didn't know then
D 
That the dives and the dens
C 
Would be so vulgar and
G 
wicked and wild.
D 
Mama always told me
Em 
C 
The city ladies were bawdy and bold.
G 
And so I searched night and day
D 
To catch a kissable lady,
C 
G 
But all that I caught was a cold,
D 
C 
Cause those stuck- up city ladies
D 
C 
Didn't notice me walk by.
Em 
Now I've got holes in my shoes
Cause I've been walkin'
D 
the streets all night.
C 
A 
C#dim 
D 
And I'm livin' the      life
Ebdim 
Em 
C 
that     I chose.
C#dim 
D 
G 
Livin' my life on the road.
D 
G 
I said life on the road.
D 
G 
D 
I want life on the road.
Life on the road.
G 
D
