         G7
Well I'm leavin' this mornin', baby, ridin' that new highway
          C7                                                G7
Yeah, I'm leavin' this mornin', baby, ridin' that new high- way
        D7               C7                         G7
And the more you cry the more you gonna drive me a- way

        G7
I ain't got no family, ain't got no wife or no child
        C7                                   G7
I ain't got no family, ain't got no wife, no child
          D7                    C7               G7
Ain't got no religion, I'm just out here runnin' wild

       G7
Well a rich man's got money, and a poor man's only got his soul
           C7                                               G7
Yeah, rich man's got the money, baby, poor boy only got his soul
               D7                C7                 G7
But I got this new highway and I don't care where I go

       D7                     C7               G7

Well, your lovers will leave you, baby, good friends will come and go
