G D G
Turn South at Old Fort, Exit 73 that's a damn good road, that's all I know
G D G
Wezel and denny's reside at grade steep, the gardens high as the sun is low
G D G
life's longest days spent between ditches, a mind does spin as a wheel they roll
G D G
you can sing with smiles or tears of agony, but it's alright if you know where to go
G D G
blown tattoo and broke teeth, yeah I may look weak but i'm as strong as the road i'm on
G D G
can't change all I've believed, or mistakes that I've made, i'm nothing more than where I'm from
[Chorus]
C G D
and I pity the beautiful as the beautiful they do pity me
G D G
we all have hard times we all have reasons, we're here 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 D G
if there are reasons, I will find them, so much better time than I'd ever known
G D G
sometimes I mISs silence, yeah I miss laughter, I miss content, I miss feeling whole
G D G
I ain't the only one, I ain't the only one here, trying to figure it out, oh God as they go
[Chorus]
C G D
and I pity the beautiful as the beautiful they do pity me
G D G
we all have hard times we all have reasons, we're here alone and alone we'll leave
C G D
so let's all sing, while we can sing, let's scream while we have a chance to scream
G D G
it's a short time here, and a long time gone I'm southbound 40 mileing and free
