[Intro]
D
(2 bars)
[Verse]
D
Ran right by the house I grew up in
A
Right through the town I knew I was stuck in
Bm
Took mama to church, and me to the high school
G
Daddy to work, and then to a bar stool
D
There was a stretch, a Chevy could fly on
A
Gave us a Gravol, shoulder to cry on
Bm G
I found you, girl, and then I let you go
D
On the same damn road
[Chorus]
D A
The same two lanes that let me leave
Bm G
Are 'bout to bring you back to me
D A
I got out, but I want back in
Bm G
I'm prayin' maybe, I could be your baby again
D A
And these four wheels that got me gone
Bm G
Will turn around, drive all night long
D A G
I got lost, but I know my way back home
It's the same damn road
[Interlude]
D
(2 bars)
[Verse]
D
Flat and dust to cracked and crooked
A
One-way ticket, and this boy took it
Bm
Mama cried, daddy drank
G
She filled my belly, he filled my tank
D
Crossed my heart on the railroad tracks
A
Swore to God, I wasn't coming back
Bm G
But, oh, I guess you never know
[Chorus]
D A
'Cause the same two lanes that let me leave
Bm G
Are 'bout to bring you back to me
D A
I got out, but I want back in
Bm G
I'm prayin' maybe, I could be your baby again
D A
And these four wheels that got me gone
Bm G
Will turn around, drive all night long
D A G
I got lost, but I know my way back home
It's the same damn road
[Instrumental]

D A G
[Pre-Chorus]
Bm A
I was born to run
G
So here I come
[Chorus]
D A
On the same two lanes that let me leave
Bm G
Are 'bout to bring you back to me
D A
I got out, but I want back in
Bm G
I'm prayin' maybe, I could be your baby again
D A
And these four wheels that got me gone
Bm G
Could turn around, drive all night long
D A G
I got lost, but I know my way back home
Bm A G
Yeah, there's the sign, just two more miles to go
D
On the same damn road
D
It's the same damn road
