As recorded by Charley Crockett (2024 release) [Intro] C D Em N.C. [Verse 1]
       Em      D            C
I'd be glad to tell you the story

        Em  D    C
About a solitary road

          Em     D    C
You can't take nobody with you

                     D           Em
And you ain't coming back if you go
[Verse 2]
       Em      D            C
It's a highway teeming with blackjack

         Em            D   C
On every corner, young Jezebels

           Em         D          C
Well, they say it can lead to salvation

                 D       Em
But you won't be able to tell
N.C. 'Cause it's a solitary road [Guitar Solo] C D Em C D Em N.C. [Verse 3]
Em    D      C
I was only a wanderer

         Em       D     C
A lonely child of circumstance

       Em         D           C
When I heard that nightingale calling me

                  D       Em
And he flew right into my hands
[Verse 4]
Em                      D        C
Well, he told me they'd rise up against me

      Em          D            C
As it turned out, this was the case

      Em      D           C
I saw jackals roaming the valleys

             D        Em
Grifters all over the place
N.C. See, it's a solitary road [Guitar Solo] C D Em C D Em N.C. [Verse 5]
Em            D           C
A kingdom lay high on the mountain

        Em             D        C
I could see it through rain and snow

         Em        D        C
Many had fallen in fields beside me

                D     Em
As I cross over every road
[Verse 6]
Em                   D            C
When I reached those gates of the city

      Em           D          C
I was trembling, I have to confess

        Em           D      C
Eyes of judgment lay heavy upon me

                 D          Em
The red sun hung low in the west
N.C. On the solitary road [Outro] C D Em C D Em
