E                                                    B           A
I left the cold and rain behind, I drove out west to Memphis 
A                      B             A         B      E
South across the Mississippi line, I rolled my window down 
                                                      B
Big river runnin' on my right, turtles on the banks a walkin' 
      A                      B            A          B       E
Don't know how far I'm gonna get tonight, forty-nine keep on talkin' 

Chorus:
A                                                        B        E
Some roads are made for drivin' fast, and some roads are made for walkin' 
A                                               B       E
Some roads are made to ease my mind, forty-nine keep on talkin'

Verse 2:
E                                                      B
Now me and her we called it love, what the hell did it matter 
A                    B                A           B        E
But when the pushin' came to shove, I didn't have much to say 
                                                     B
Guess I'm better off on my own, no she won't hear me knockin' 
     A                     B           A          B       E
This west bound lane gonna be my home, forty-nine keep on talkin'

Verse 3:
E                                                          B
See the black girl with long blonde hair, up on top of the levee 
A                         B              A         B       E
What's she thinkin' 'bout standin there, what does she see today 
                                                        B
A dusty haze in the settin' sun, the crows on the wires watchin' 
      A                   B           A          B       E
I let two miles turn into twenty-one, forty-nine keep on talkin'
