Past the wounded cars reflecting    all their dirty light

F        G       E          Am     F         G      C
Past the unnamed bars, the unnamed prisoners of the night

Past the Winne - bago dreaming   all its iron dreams

F        G       E          Am       F       G      C
Past the haunted drugstore where the fortune teller leans

F        G       C      E           F         G   C
Past the gravel parking lot   where blood is only blood

F        G          E                 Am     F         G      C
Past the storefront church where they say    God made Man from mud

F            G        C      E         F           G       C
There you'll find the broken toys who chased their love in vain

If you wander over yonder down my Cherry Lane

F        G       C      E          F         G         C
Past the dimming county line where all turns black and red

F        G        E     Am             F      G         C
Past the winners' trash bags where the losers lay their heads

F      G       C             E         F       G         C
Listen to the freight trains rumbling, talking in their sleep

F       G        E       Am             F       G       C
See the lonesome drifter ask       the Lord her soul to keep

F      G         C        E         F      G    C
Walk beneath the signpost where the purple neon hums

F       G     E        Am          F       G     C
See the ugly cardboard world where someday never comes

F           G      C       E         F       G      C
And you may see my old man Gideon    walking with a cane
[Chorus]
F      G      E    Am     F       G      C
If you wander over yonder down my Cherry Lane

F     G          C     E           F      G       C
I got sick, then I got sicker, and then I lost my way

F        G        E     Am        F      G         C
Heard a song without a singer     at the close of day

F     G          C     E           F      G    C
I went driving, I went walking,    I went far away

F        G         E          Am         F         G         C
Went somewhere you can't come back from, somewhere you can't stay

F     G          C     E           F      G    C
If you see me on your journey, try and say my name

You can turn and trace your footsteps back the way you came

F          G        C       E       F            G       C
Or you can take the highway running wild through joy and pain
