Intro 1

Verse 1
C 
Well the road maps of West
G 
Texas never gave me good advice
The trains all roll where the roads don't go,
C 
now I lay awake at night
Just wondering where the rest is
G 
so I hit that iron gate
And I yelled good-bye to to that wife of mine,
F 
C 
I may be running late

Verse 2

I'm a-rolling on, on, I'm a-rolling on

Rolling out past El Paso Texas,

where I might have had a home

I made my bed, so here I lie

I'm rolling West Texas

teardrops in my eye

Verse 3
C 
Though I felt a lonesome feeling in Dulce,
G 
New Mexico
I was happier than I'd ever
C 
been in my El Paso home
But I thought about the woman
G 
whom I left to roam the land
And I cried so much it dug a
F 
rut they call the Rio Grande

Interlude 1

Verse 5
G 
And my destination is written
C 
upon my feet
G 
And the stars above are about
C 
the only company I keep
F 
So raise my pass and take my seat
G 
I'm rolling fast with
F 
a teardrop on my cheek
G 

Verse 6
C 
So I guess there'll be no family,
G 
so I guess there'll be no wife
Gonna roll away on an old steel dray,
C 
it's gonna be my life
And the road maps I been reading,
G 
I never came to figure out
All I know is I'd explode
F 
C 
by any other route
