[Verse 1]
Am                            D
   My life is measured by the telephone poles

Am                             D
   The mileage lines are on my face

   I never care much where that old highway goes

F                      E7
  I'm happy almost any place

Am                          D
   I'm married to a beat-up busted guitar

Am                     D
   I'm obligated to my band

Am                                 D
   Don't waste your time by making permanent plans

F                            E7    G
  I'm only playing one night stands

[Verse 2]
Am                             D
   I've got a suitcase full of stories to tell

Am                               D
   Bout all the places that I've been

Am                                    D
   When I've told my stories and I've sung you my song

F                           E7
  I'll be back on the road again

Am                                 D
   Shout out the number that you'd like me to play

Am                                D
   Then clap your hands and sing along

Am                                 D
   Let's have a good time while we still have today

F                          E7  G
  Because tomorrow I'll be gone
