[Verse 1]
     C
It’s hard being on the road day after day
C7                        F
  Constantly living in an unfamiliar way
    Fm                              C
God knows I miss you and I wish you didn’t have to stay
   Dm7        G7
So far behind

C
Living don’t come easy so I’ll push my way on through
C7                            F
  Just like any man I’m doing what I have to do
Fm                             C               Am
Wishing all along that I could be at home with you
     Dm7        G7
Come suppertime


[Chorus]
    C                                                          Dm7     G
And all that keeps me going is just knowing that tomorrow is a new day
G                                                       C
Every new day sunrise I’m closer to the one that I love true
                  G              C
All that keeps me singing is the ringing
                         Dm7      G
Of each mile of this old highway

     Dm7                     G7                                  C   C Db
Each mile I leave behind is another mile that gets me closer to you


(Key Change to Db)


[Verse 2]
Db
Coffee shops and truck stops have become my second home
                        Db7             Gb
And you’re not there to fill my cup and I feel so alone
   Gbm                             Db              Bbm
At night when I’m on stage and I’m singing my last song
  Ebm             Bbm  Ab7
I think about you

      Db
Cause when my song is over and they bring the curtain down
                                              Gb
And the crowds have all gone home and silence still is the only sound
Gbm                          Db                   Bbm
Once again I’ll find myself alone in some strange town
    Ebm     Ab
Without you


[Chorus]
    Db                                                         Ebm     Ab7
And all that keeps me going is just knowing that tomorrow is a new day
                                                        Db
Every new day sunrise I’m closer to the one that I love true
Db
All that keeps me singing is the ringing
                         Ebm      Ab
Of each mile of this old highway

     Ebm                     Ab                        Db
Each mile I leave behind is another mile I’m closer to you
     Eb7            Ab7                       Gb     Ab7    Db  Ab Db
Each mile I leave behind is another mile that I’m closer to you
