D
I was born down in San Antone, daddy'd leave us all alone,
GAD
Big rig rollin' thunder on the Dallas bound highway home.
Well momma got a job and she worked real hard.
G
She had two of us kids in a trashed out car, yeah,
AD
But me and my brother seems to get along just fine.
AGD
Yeah, and you know the highway just like a river keeps rollin' on.
AGD
You know it's my way and I was born to sing this song.
GAGAGAD
Have no fear, I ain't goin' nowhere. Everything's gonna be just fine.
D
Well I turn on the tv on Sunday afternoon.
G
This preacher was screamin', "Boy, you're gonna meet your doom
AD
Goin' to all them honky tonks and drink that ice cold beer."
But I've got me some friends and we're real tight.
G
We stay up drinkin' and talkin' in the middle of the night.
AD
We talk about Jesus, man, I tell ya, He's one pretty cool dude.
AGD
Yeah, and you know the highway just like a river keeps rollin' on.
AGD
You know it's my way and I was born to sing this song.
GAGAGAD
Have no fear, I ain't goin' nowhere. Everything's gonna be just fine.
AGDAGDEmAEmEmADD
Well lately I've been toyin' with the notion,
G
Of settin' my wheels in motion.
AD
Just put me on the highway to see what I can see.
And then you come in cryin', you were bitchin' at me.
G
You said, "Your baby or the highway. What's it gonna be?"
A
I said, "Well maybe you don't get it. It's a nature of the business,
D
I'm about to be movin' on."
AGD
Yeah, and you know the highway just like a river keeps rollin' on.
AGD
You know it's my way and I was born to sing this song.
GAGAGAD
Have no fear, drink another beer. Everything's gonna be just fine.
AGD
Yeah, and you know the highway just like a river keeps rollin' on.
AGD
You know it's my way and I was born to sing this song.
GAGAGAD
Have no fear, I ain't goin' nowhere. Everything's gonna be just fine.
