    • Verse 1
    When I started 
    out 
    to write 
    this 
    song 

    You 
    and I 
    were walkin' 
    down 

    the high
    way 
    holdin' 
    hands 

    I 
    was 
    gonna 
    write 
    about 
    how 
    much 

    a woman's 
    love 
    can 
    help 
    a man 

    But somethin' 
    kinda 
    restless 

    started 
    stir
    rin' 
    in 
    my 
    body 

    Before 
    I 
    even 
    got 
    my 
    guitar 
    out 

    And I'm 
    glad 
    I 
    didn't 
    waste 
    my time 

    writin' 
    all 
    these 
    lovin' 
    lines 

    I don't 
    feel 
    that 
    way 
    about 
    it 
    now 

    The only 
    way 
    to 
    travel 
    is 
    to 
    hit that 

    big ole 
    road 
    by 
    your
    self 

    A man 
    don't 
    need 
    his back 
    or 
    his 
    brain 

    loaded 
    down 
    with 
    someone 
    else 

    And 
    when it 
    starts 
    to raining 

    he don't 
    have 
    to find 
    a shelter 

    For 
    anybody's 
    body 
    but 
    his 
    own 
    uh 
    huh 

    the only 
    way 
    to travel 
    is 
    alone 

    [ dobro ] 

    I 
    guess 
    I just 
    felt 
    sorry 
    for 
    you 
    walkin' 
    down 

    the highway 
    in 
    the morn
    ing 
    in 
    the cold 

    Or 
    else 
    why 
    would 
    I 
    let 
    you 
    tag 
    along 
    and start 

    to searchin' 
    out 
    my 
    soul 

    But thank 
    the Lord 
    the wind 
    came 
    up 

    and 
    blew 
    a 
    little 
    common 
    sense 

    Across 
    the sandy 
    deserts 
    of 
    my mind 

    Now 
    I 
    can 
    leave 
    you standing 

    here 
    and 
    never 
    shed 
    a tear 

    And 
    live 
    like 
    I should 
    have 
    all 
    the time

      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

      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.
