    • Intro 1

    Verse 1
    I first 
    ran 
    into 
    Stoney. 

    . . it 
    was 
    a bar 
    downtown; 

    Was 
    Richmond, 

    Virgin
    ia. 
    . . we were 
    bumming 
    around, 

    Suitcase 
    to suitcase. 
    . . we 
    started 
    him 
    talking, 


    Finding 
    out 
    about 
    the 
    things 
    we've 
    shared 

    in 
    the miles 
    we've 
    been. 

    Verse 2

    He had 
    a gray 
    pillowcase 

    full of 
    books 
    by Dur
    rell, 

    And 
    he had 
    this 
    old 
    concertina, 

    all 
    beat 
    up 
    and she 
    played 
    like 
    hell, 

    Until 
    you 
    got 
    him started 
    singing 

    those 
    Gospel 
    songs, 

    Well, 
    he 
    drank 
    all 
    night 
    for 
    nothing, 

    he 
    told 
    his 
    stor
    ies 
    till 
    dawn. 

    Verse 3

    And he said, 
    "Come on, 
    get 
    your 
    bag, 

    boy! 
    Sun's 
    up 
    now and it's 
    time 
    to roll! 

    Hell, you 
    know there ain't no 

    better time than 
    early in the morning 

    To be 
    out 
    walking 
    down 

    that road! 

    Just feeling 
    another day 
    begin
    ning while 

    some 
    fools 
    just 
    rush
    ing 
    on 
    by, 

    We'll 
    be like 
    some 
    Mr. 
    Independence: we're 

    taking 
    our 
    own 
    sweet 
    time!" 

    Interlude 1

    We 
    walked 
    on 
    out 
    Verse 4
    that 
    highway 
    under 

    a 
    clear 
    blue 
    sky, 

    I's listening 
    to the 
    tales 
    he told, 

    drinking 
    warm 
    red 
    wine. 

    'Bout 
    the 
    night 
    he 
    rolled 

    seven; bout 
    some 
    girl 
    he'd 
    done 
    wrong; 

    'Bout 
    everything 
    he 
    could 
    think of 

    while 
    we 
    walked 
    along. 

    Interlude 2

    Verse 5
    Yeah, ol' 
    Stoney 
    had 
    a 

    magic; made 
    him hard 
    to for
    get. 

    Like 
    the night 
    we flew 
    down 
    the highway 
    (his old pickup, 

    it 
    nearly 
    wrecked!) 

    Was 
    a crazy 
    woman 
    driving, 

    all 
    drunked up and 
    carrying 
    on; 

    Till Stoney 
    finally 
    calmed 
    her 
    singing 

    those Gospel 
    songs. 

    Verse 6

    Well, we 
    split 
    the 
    road 
    at 
    Norwood, 

    and 
    he 
    just 
    shook 
    my 
    hand. 

    He said, 
    "I'll see 
    you some 
    place, 

    friend," 
    but you know he 
    never 
    has. 

    But 
    we 
    were that 
    free 
    then, 

    just 
    walking 
    down 
    the 
    road, 

    Never 
    really 
    caring 
    where 
    that 
    high

    way 
    goes. 

    Verse 7

    Yeah, Stoney 
    was 
    a li
    ar 

    (a bullshitter!) ain't 
    no 
    doubt about 
    it. 

    It 
    was 
    just 
    the way 
    he 
    told 
    things, 

    and you 
    never 
    want 
    to 
    doubt 
    him. 

    'Cause 
    he 
    kept 
    you 
    going 

    when 
    the road 
    got 
    rough, 

    And 
    brought 
    you 
    through 
    the lean 
    times 

    by 
    making 
    it 
    up. 

    Verse 8
    "Hey, did I ever 
    tell you the time 
    I married my 
    cousin up in 
    Las 

    Vegas?" 

    Yeah, Stoney. 
    Tell it 
    again, 

    Outro 1
    will 
    you?

      Best Tuning App Ever

      MaddProfessor

      "

      I’ve downloaded many tuning apps before and this one is by far the best. Easy to use, super user-friendly, and they have a bunch of fun different chords and songs to help you learn new music. I highly recommend.

      Well-Designed App

      "

      I mostly use this for tuning my guitar, which this app makes ridiculously easy. It also has a large selection of songs to play along to and it helps show you which chords to play as well how to make the shapes with your fingers.

      Got me back into playing

      Tuliketsune

      "

      I got this app to tune an old guitar, and noticed it has a feature that autoscrolls as I play chords to famous songs. For some reason, this was a lot more motivating for me than any other way of practicing guitar. Now I'm actually practicing and remembering the names of chords 🙂

      This is the best guitar tuner ever.

      It tunes your guitar accurately so you can get the best sound. I like all the other little games as well because they teach you how to play different chords and you can learn to identify the chords by listening to them and it is all offline.
