F# B E F# (4x)
E B
(4x, on the fourth time, end with a lingering A)
[Verse 1]
F# B
Highway bill's on the rotary still
E F#
And he can't even feel the pain
F#
Of a sun dried shoulder
G#m
And a scar from a boulder
C#7
That cut him right across his vein
F#
Now's he's sucking' cigar
B
And he's shovelin' tar
E F#
In the crater of a turnpike terrain
F# B
He's got only one hope and he wants to elope
E B F#
'Cause Highway Jill is driving him insane
[Chorus]
E B
We gotta get on the road
F# B
Destiny Unbound
E B
She's the one for me
C#7 F#
We gotta get out of town
(Repeat chorus)
[Verse 2]
F# B
Highway Jill was a daffodil
E F#
With a cactus sense of pride
F# G#m
At the wheel of a tractor she was quite an impactor
C#7
When the road rocks started to slide
F# B
She saw Bill drop his shovel on a pile of gravel
E F#
As he climbed up out of his ditch
F# B
She was wonderstruck When he climbed in her truck
E B F#
He said, "I've been having this everlasting itch"
[Chorus]
E B
We gotta get on the road
F# B
Destiny Unbound
E B
You're the one for me
C#7 F#
We gotta get out of town
(Repeat chorus)
[Verse 3]
E
At first she was cold
B
She was ready to scold
F# B
This guy from the pit with a thing in his head
E
But then she thought twice
B
When he melted her ice
C#7
With his passionate eyes
B
She was energized
F#
She started the ignition
B
And without permission
C#7 F#
The two of them flew down the dusty road
F#
But the road wasn't finished
B
And the pavement diminished
E
They flew off the edge
B F#
And plunged in the sludge
[Chorus]
E B
(She said) There isn't even any road
F# B
Our destiny was bound
E B
We were the ones for us
C#7 F#
Now we're in the ground
