G      C               D   
I left home when I was seventeen
G           C                D 
I just grew tired of falling down
Em                 C
And I'm sure I was told 
Em                C 
The allure of the road
         D            D Dsus D 
Would be all I found

G           C              D    
And all the answers that I started with
G          C                D
Turned out questions in the end
Em               C
So years roll on by 
Em                C
And just like the sky 
         D
The road never ends


Em             D                 C             
And the people who love me still ask me
Em           D              C
When are you coming back to town
G            C       
And I answer quite frankly 
Bm                      C
When they stop building roads
    G                D               G
And all God needs is gravity to hold me down

When they stop building roads
G                       D              G   
And there ain't no more highways to be found
G            C       
And I answer quite frankly
