Road Song

When [G]I was a little kid
My father [C]told me to see the world for [G]him
So [G]I took my things
And painted pink [C]sunsets over the vast o[G]ceans
[D]Send your dad a note
You [C]made it, kid, you're on the [G]road
[D]Send your dad a note
You [C]made it, kid, you're on the [G]road

[G]Mother, teach me about the country
Can you tell the [C]lie
From the [C]lives that you've seen?
[G]Mother, can you tell me
Where this [C]road is gonna [G]lead?
Just [D]let yourself go
And [C]sell your soul to the [G]road
Just [D]let yourself go
And [C]sell your soul to the [G]road

[Em]Don't you know [C]I was resting under the [G]tracks
[Em]Even then [C]I knew I would always be [G]back
And I [Am]know that this steel [C]train
is gonna ride on 'till the [G]end
And I [Am]know that this steel [C]train
is gonna ride on 'till the [G]end

[G]Blue skies and desert rain
I passed my [C]life by course of steel [G]train
And i [G]ride to the end of the rail
I tell my [C]father of all my [G]tales
I say [D]everything I saw
[C]I was thinking of [G]you
And the [D]reason I am
[C]Here is all beca[G]use of you

[Em]Don't you know [C]I was resting under the [G]tracks
[Em]Even then [C]I knew I would always be [G]back
And I [Am]know that my steel [C]train
is gonna ride on 'till the [G]end
And I [Am]know that my steel [C]train
is gonna ride on 'till the [G]end

I know there's [Am]room on this steel [C]train
and we're gonna ride it 'till the [G]end
