Intro: |Bm |G D |Bm |G D | |Bm |G D |Bm |G D |
Bm                G          D
Shrunken head and Mardi Gras beads

Bm                    G           D
Hanging on a rearview mirror that bleeds

Bm                      G     D
Keepin' her eyes on the open road

Bm                    G           D
No tellin' where that son-a bitch goes
|Bm |G D |Bm |G D |
Bm                         G  D 
Got her doors locked doin' 75

Bm                           G       D
Don't care to be caught now, dead or alive

Bm                  G        D
Seen enough to kill anyone's soul

Bm                      G    D
Keepin' her eyes on the open road

Bm                      G    D
Keepin' her eyes on the open road

    G                   A
The open road where the hopeless come

G         A
To see if hope still runs

G                           G     D    A
One by one they bring their broke down loads

    G                        A
And leave 'em where the hobo dreams are stowed

           Bm   G     D    A
Out on the open road

           Bm   G     D    A
Out on the open road
|Bm |G D |Bm |G D |
Bm                      G      D
Midnight fallin' like a bag of bones

Bm                    G         D
Weighted down now the rest with stones

Bm                       G         D
Bouncin' off a river the moon made steel

Bm                           G        D
Cracking off the chrome of a steering wheel

Bm                     G          D
Anything back there is burned and dead

Bm                     G          D
Any love they made any words they said

Bm                    G           D
Nothing to do now but drop it and roll

Bm                     G    D
Into the lights of the open road

Bm                     G    D
Into the lights of the open road

    G                   A
The open road where the hopeless come

G         A
To see if hope still runs

G                           G     D    A
One by one they bring their broke down loads

    G                        A
And leave 'em where the hobo dreams are stowed

           Bm   G     D    A
Out on the open road

           Bm   G     D    A
