[Intro]
G G A D G D A D
[Chorus]
D G A D
I play the road, and the highway is our song
G D E A
And every city's like the same three chords been helpin' us a long
D A D G D
When the story's told and the crowd has come and gone
G D A D
Shakin' off the miles and tryin' to make it home
G F#m Em D
Every exit is a season, every signal is a beacon
G F#m Em A
And the wind, it carries me, and it eases up my load
G F#m Em D
Every day I drag the turns, every candle still burns
G F#m Em F#m Em D
And every lesson I have learned brings us closer to the crowd
[Chorus]
G A D
I play the road, and the highway is our song
G D E A
And every city's like the same three chords been helpin' us a long
D A D G D
When the story's told and the crowd is done and gone
G D A D
Shakin' off the miles and tryin' to make it home
[Inst]
G G A D G D A D D
G F#m Em D
Well the bus it is our steeple, it brings us to the people
G F#m Em A
And they will be there waitin', dancin' young and old
G F#m Em D
And every one of us gets tired, but every one remains in spired
G F#m Em F#m Em D
And every one of us re quire to keep pickin' through our souls
[Chorus]
G A D
I play the road, and the highway is our song
G D E A
And every city's like the same three chords been helpin' us a long
D A D G D
When the story's told and the crowd is done and gone
G D A D
Shakin' off the miles and tryin' to make it home

Where do you go, daddy where do you go?"

And every city's like the same three chords been helpin' us a long

When the story's told and the crowd is done and gone

Shakin' off the miles and tryin' to make it home

Shaking off the miles, shakin' off the miles, shakin' off the mile
A B
Mile after mile, mile after mile
A Am E
Baby, I'm coming home
