 Let  me tell you baby - If you want to pin me down
 Better get your hammer, girl - and nail me to the ground
 'Cause  you won't find no grass stains
 On the bottom of my feet
 The only  home I've ever known - is out there on the street.
  You call me  insane - Honey, That's my middle name
  And I  don't care which way the wind will blow
  'Cause I don't know  - So down the road I go.
  Musical turn around
 You  see I tried to settle down - Not too long ago
 You can lock my body up - But you can't calm my soul
 I don't want  to hurt you - Or put you on the shelf
 But my daddy  told me all my life
 You've got to be yourself.
  Repeat the chorus
  Long instrumental
 I'm  sure there's lots of guys out there
 Who've learned to tow the line
 Compared to them my life may look a wreck
 But girl,  you've been to college
 So you ahould know by now
 And  if you can't understand me
 What the hell do you expect
 I'm  giving you fair warning - I'm gonna say goodbye
 And when I'm walking out the door
 Don't want to hear you cry
 There's  so much highway out there
 That I ain't never seen
 And all  I need is cigarettes, guitars, and gasoline.
  Repeat the chorus
 Tag: Down  the road I go
  I'll  see you around
  'Cause  I'm leaving town
  Yeah,  yeah, yeahhh (fades out).

Le[A]t me tell you baby - If you want to pin me down

Better get your hammer, girl - and nail me to the ground
'C[D]ause you won't find no grass stains

On the bottom of my feet
The on[A]ly home I've ever known - is out there on the street.

     You call [D]me insane - Honey, That's my middle na[A]me
     And I[D] don't care which way the wind will bl[A]ow
     'Cause I don't k[E]now - So down the road I g[A]o.

                    Musical turn around

Yo[A]u see I tried to settle down - Not too long ago

You can lock my body up - But you can't calm my soul
I don't w[D]ant to hurt you - Or put you on the shelf
But my da[A]ddy told me all my life

You've got to be yourself.

I'm[D] sure there's lots of guys out there

Who've learned to tow the line
Compared to them my life may look a wr[A]eck
But gi[D]rl, you've been to college

So you ahould know by now
An[E]d if you can't understand me

What the hell do you expect

I'[A]m giving you fair warning - I'm gonna say goodbye

And when I'm walking out the door

Don't want to hear you cry
The[D]re's so much highway out there

That I ain't never seen
And a[A]ll I need is cigarettes, guitars, and gasoline.

               Repeat the chorus

Tag: Dow[A]n the road I go
     I'll[A] see you around

     'Ca[A]use I'm leaving town
     Yea[A]h, yeah, yeahhh      (fades out).
