Where There’s A Road- Sam Bush
[Intro]
G C D x2
[Verse]
G C D
Jeff Davis was no county line to my daddy
G C D
More like a wall he could not see beyond
Em C D G
Yeah, to me that farm was just a jail and the day I hit sixteen I bailed
C D G
Shook off the Georgia dust and I was gone
[Bridge]
G Fm
To the wild unknown,
G Fm G
Where no light to guide me shown
Am7 G F Am7 C
And the wheels had ideas of their own
[Verse]
G C D
Three bakes joined the ride at a Joplin pawnshop
G C D
And a hard core band somewhere round Santa Fe
Em C D G
A club to wreck and a town to burn, not a cent to waste, no rock unturned
C D G
Days like those you’ve got to throw away
[Chorus]
G C D C
Wired to the wheel and bound to no one
G C D C
Fire up the engine, down the fences go
G C D Em C G
Free, that’s about the blacktop, the back route, there’s always a way out
D G C D C G C D
Where there’s a ro-o-oad, where there’s a road
[Verse]
G C D
That Portland week I can’t seem to remember
G C D
Those Houston nights that just won’t quit my mind
Em C D G
Yeah, checking seven doors or ten, better rooms just up the bend
C D G
And a thousand more left somewhere behind
[Chorus]
G C D C
Wired to the wheel and bound to no one
G C D C
Fire up the engine, down the fences go
G C D Em C G
Free, that’s about the blacktop, the back route, there’s always a way out
D G C D C G C D
Where there’s a ro-o-oad, where there’s a road
[Bridge]
G Fm
To the last free man,
G Fm G
Ain’t no mystery can stand
Am7 G F Am7 C
When the key’s right there in your hand
[Verse]
G C D
So Amy please don’t make this any harder
G C D
This tramp you’ve lost, that’s sure no cause to cry
Em C D G
No flesh and blood can buy my hand, you can ask a sad ol’ Georgia man
C D C
Since I’ve been gone it’s been one long goodbye
[Chorus]
G C D C
Wired to the wheel and bound to no one
G C D C
Fire up the engine, down the fences go
G C D Em C G
Free, that’s about the blacktop, the back route, there’s always a way out
D G C D C G C D
Where there’s a ro-o-oad, where there’s a road (x2)
G C D
