G  C  D  G

[Verse 1]
G                                       C
California, don't have a strain for the pain I'm in
        D                                G
Colorado, the Rockies ain't touchin' the clouds I'm in
                                         C
I bet Hendrix, don't have a haze for the daze I'm in
Am
My eyes are red and it ain't cause I cried
C                     D
She left me hangin it ain't no surprise

[Chorus]
              C       D
So I took the highway,
                   G    A    Em
Cause you took the long road
          C         D             G
Left me a burn that just won't fade
            C           D
Clearly you cloud my mind
            G   D  Em
So I took a trip alone
                        C        D
My truck's still in the driveway
               G
But I took the highway

[Verse 2]
G                                       C
Alabama, that's where you left me right where I stand
            D                                     G
Last that I heard, you're off with that banker in Birmingham
                                               C
Hope you're happy, guess it turns out that you weren't just friends
Am
You got a diamond and I got a dime
C                          D
Bag of that stuff's got me up in the pines

[Chorus]
              C       D
Cause I took the highway,
                   G    A    Em
Cause you took the long road
          C         D             G
Left me a burn that just won't fade
            C           D
Clearly you cloud my mind
            G   D  Em
So I took a trip alone
                        C        D
My truck's still in the driveway
               G
But I took the highway
                        C        D
My truck's still in the driveway,
               G             D G
But I took the highway
