[Verse]
A Bm7 G
We left Chatham County in a second-hand van with a color TV.
A Bm7 G
Captains chairs and a rack for our clothes.
A Bm7 G
It was what it was, it burned a little oil and it ran real hot.
A Bm G
It got us where we wanted to go.
A Bm7 G
Headed out west with a fold out map and fishing poles.
A Bm G
A jug of Carlo Rossi in the stove.
A Bm7 G
Had no plans, just a bluegrass band with a couple of gigs.
A Bm A G
A few guitars with pockets full of holes.
[Chorus]
G D
We put our dreams on the road,
A Bm A
didn't know we'd go so lo......ng,
G D
string up a box, turn it to a song,
A Bm G
get up high let everybody know it's a traveling show.
[Verse]
A Bm7 G
We fished in the Russian and the San Juan and the Frying Pan.
A Bm7 G
Living out on the rivers and the roads.
A Bm7 G
Had to call home from a Texas jail in New Arkaville.
A Bm G
We headed north as fast a we could go.
[Chorus]
G D
It was like a dream out on the road,
A Bm A
coming up short and driving lo.....ng
G D
string up a box, turn it to a song,
A Bm G
get up high let everybody know it's a traveling show.
[Verse]
A Bm7 G
I look back now and I can't believe we've how far we've come.
A Bm7 G
And how far we've still got to go.
A Bm7 G
Got twelve acres on the French Fried river and a woman I love.
A Bm G
It's always good to get back home.
[Chorus]
G D
And I still dream about the road,
A Bm A
I can't stay away too lo.....ng.
G D
string up a box, turn it to a song,
A Bm G
get up high let e.....veryone know
[Outro]
G D
We put our dreams on the road,
A Bm A
didn't know we'd go so lo......ng,
G D
string up a box, turn it to a song,
A Bm G
get up high let everybody know it's a traveling show.
