Bm Em Born to a good father I have no excuse
F# Bm F# Bm I could say I blame someone but what would be the use
Em When I learn to travel now is when I learn to steal
F# Bm F# Bm To ride without a ticket now along the lines of steel [Chorus 1]
E A7 Oh you don't know the things I have seen
D D7 G F# Twenty years out on the road with the Johnson Family
E A7 Oh you don't know the cages I have seen
D D7 G F# Twenty years in and out of the Johnson Family [Instrumental]
Bm Em F# Bm F# Bm

Bm Em I'd harnessed stones and took them to the fence
F# Bm F# Bm I found my heart by moved the shop and always made the rent
Em When I met old George now he showed me to the box
F# Bm F# Bm Fresh out the night oh from the day now the money never stops [Chorus 2]
E A7 Oh you can't know the cages I have seen
D D7 G F# In and out over the years of the Johnson Family
E A7 Oh you can't know the troubles I have seen
D D7 G F# Twenty years out on the road with the Johnson Family [Instrumental]

Bm Em Call me a thief and a liar now you know you would be right
F# Bm F# Bm Straight as an arrow I sit here tonight
Em All my debts too heavy boys I cannot pay them down
F# Bm F# Bm I pawn my watch and take a walk down to the sea to drown
E A7 Oh you can't know the things I have seen
D D7 G F# Twenty years out on the road with the Johnson Family
E A7 Oh you can't know the cages I have seen
D D7 G F# Twenty years out on the road with the Johnson Family
