G                                                
Turn South at Old Fort, Exit 73 that's a damn good 
  D                  G
road, that's all I know
G                                                    
Wezel and denny's reside at grade steep, the gardens 
D                  G
high as the sun is low
G                                                    
life's longest days spent between ditches, a mind 
  D                    G
does spin as a wheel they roll
G                                                    
you can sing with smiles or tears of agony, but it's 
D                            G
alright if you know where to go
G                                                    
blown tattoo and broke teeth, yeah I may look weak 
         D                      G
but i'm as strong as the road i'm on
G                                                    
can't change all I've believed, or mistakes that I've
                   D                    G
 made, i'm nothing more than where I'm  from

[Chorus]
      C        G                                       
and I pity the beautiful as the beautiful they do pity 
D
me
            G                                          
we all have hard times we all have reasons, we're here 
D                     G
alone and alone we'll leave

[Interlude]
G D G

[Verse 2]
N.C.
Someone say why it is I get all restless and travel 
light and always alone
             G                                         
if there are reasons, I will find them, so much better 
D                  G
time than I'd ever known
G                                                    
sometimes I mISs silence, yeah I miss laughter, I 
  D                       G
miss content, I miss feeling whole
G                                                    
I ain't the only one, I ain't the only one here, 
                D                   G
trying to figure it out, oh God as they go

[Chorus]
      C        G                                       
and I pity the beautiful as the beautiful they do pity 
D
me
            G                                          
we all have hard times we all have reasons, we're here 
D                     G
alone and alone we'll leave
             C                  G                  
so let's all sing, while we can sing, let's scream 
                          D
while we have a chance to scream
       G                                         
it's a short time here, and a long time gone I'm 
D                         G
southbound 40 mileing and free
