[Verse 1]
FC
Take a silver dollar and put it in your pocket,
GD
Never let it slip away.
FCG
Always be a man, not a boy gone astray.
CGAmDG
When ya get half cra-zy from the August heat
CGAm
Or on a frozen, rotted road
D N.C.
With no one to complain to about your achin' feet.
[Chorus]
GFCG
You're gonna walk that endless highway,
CDG
Walk that high-way till you die.
GFCG
All you children goin' my way,
CDG
Better tell your home-life sweet goodbye.
[Verse 2]
FC
When I see a detour up ahead,

GD
Well, I leave it far behind,
FCG
Who knows what you're apt to find there.
CGAmDG
With the cost of livin, and the price of dyin',
CGAm
It looks like to me
D N.C.
this time I wont be a-buyin'
[Chorus]
GFCG
You're gonna walk that endless highway,
CDG
Walk that high-way till you die.
GFCG
All you children goin' my way,
CDG
Better tell your home-life sweet goodbye.

[Verse 3]
FC
When they get a scapegoat by the throat,
GD
it's hard labour and cold beans.
FC
If you get away quick,
G
You'll be eatin from the poison peanut machine.

Well, I sing by night, wander by day.
C G Am D N.C.
I'm on the road and it looks like I'm here to stay, yeah
[Chorus]
GFCG
You're gonna walk that endless highway,
CDG
Walk that high-way till you die.
GFCG
And all you children goin' my way,
CDG
Better tell your home-life sweet, sweet goodbye.
