    • Verse 1
    It's 
    a friendly 
    lookin' 
    freight 
    train 

    that's 
    a pullin' 
    down 
    the track 

    And 
    once 
    again 
    another 
    town 

    is a 
    lookin' 
    at 
    my 
    back 

    And 
    an
    other 
    tender 
    woman 
    cries 

    beggin' 
    me 
    to stay 

    That's 
    a game 
    I'm 
    never 
    gonna 
    play 

    She 
    calls 
    it 
    love, 

    but it's 
    that 
    same 
    old 
    dotted 
    line 

    Verse 2

    I 
    know 
    the role 
    of a 
    box 
    car 
    and the 

    smell 
    of Georgia 
    pine 

    The hunger 
    of 
    a prison 
    cell 
    when 

    a woman's 
    on 
    your mind 

    And the 
    way 
    this world 
    can treat 
    you 

    cold 
    as if 
    you 
    don't 
    be
    long 

    Oh, 
    high and 
    mighty'll tell 
    you that 
    you're 
    wrong, 

    wrong 

    Just 
    because 
    you 
    do not 
    sign 
    that 

    same 
    old 
    dotted 
    line 

    Verse 3
    They say 
    someday 
    I'll 
    have 
    to 
    pay 
    the bill 

    But 
    if 
    it's on 
    a 
    dotted 
    line, 

    I swear, 
    I 
    never 
    will 

    Now 
    a 
    man 
    can live 
    on 
    easy 
    street 

    if he'll 
    just 
    close 
    his eyes 

    Learn 
    the 
    art 
    of 
    movin' 
    up 

    and 
    study 
    compromise 

    Well, 
    half 
    a truth 
    is 
    still 
    a lie 

    no matter 
    how 
    it's 
    told 

    But you 
    can 
    be 
    a member 
    of 
    the fold 

    All 
    you 
    gotta 
    do 
    is sign 
    that 

    same 
    old 
    dotted 
    line 

    Verse 4

    Oh, 
    the preachers, 
    and 
    the teachers, 

    and 
    the mothers 
    of 
    this 
    land 

    They'd 
    like 
    to bend 
    and shape 

    you 
    and help 
    you 
    be 
    a man 

    Mak
    in' 
    plans 
    and 
    growin' 
    roots 

    and 
    laying 
    money 
    back

    And you 
    may 
    never 
    live 
    before 
    you 
    die 

    Once 
    they've 
    got 
    your 
    name 
    upon 

    that 
    same 
    old 
    dotted 
    line 

    They 
    say 
    someday 
    I'll 
    have 
    Verse 5
    to 
    pay 
    the bill 

    But 
    if 
    it's 
    on 
    a dotted 
    line, 

    I swear, 
    I 
    never 
    will 

    So wave 
    to me 
    in 
    passing 
    and 

    if you 
    think I'm 
    wrong 

    Don't 
    try 
    to sell 
    me 
    anything, 

    I 
    only 
    need 
    a song 

    And 
    let 
    me 
    have 
    the feel 
    of 
    life, 

    the laughter, 
    and 
    the tears 

    And 
    when I 
    die, 
    I'll 
    know 
    that I 
    was 
    here 

    Just 
    don't 
    think 
    I'm 
    gonna 
    sign 

    that same 
    old 
    dotted 
    line 

    Just 
    don't 
    think 
    I'm 
    gonna 

    sign 
    that 
    same 
    old 
    dotted 
    line

      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 🙂

      Not only is it a tuner (best app tuner I've used personally) but it also has a metronome, games, chords, and a plethora of instruments to choose from and it's SUPER easy to navigate. I love it! Thanks for making an awesome app. From one musician to another, THANKS!!!

      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.
