G
When I was a young boy

C
The only things that really mattered were

G      Em                 C
Making friends and having fun

G
Walkin' down that railroad track

C
'Til you reached the river

G
Turn around and head on back

C        D      G
When the day is done

C
Ain't it like they always say

D
Everybody goes their own way

G                        C
Nobody knows, no one can tell

G
It's always been the same for me

C
Guess it's just the way it must be

G       D               C
Headin' down that dusty trail

G
When I was a young man

C
The only things that got me goin' were

G       Em               C
Gettin' high and chasin' love

G
Lyin' down beside my girl

C
On the banks of the river

G
With nothing but some mustang wine

    C       D     G
And all the stars above

C
Ain't it like they always say

D
Everybody goes their own way

G                        C
Nobody knows, no one can tell

G
It's always been the same for me

C
Guess it's just the way it must be

G       D               C
Headin' down that dusty trail

G      D                C
It's a twistin, turnin' windin' road

G     D               C    G C
I get lost and broken down

G     D               C
I'm a stumbler and it won't be long

G      D            C
'Til I stumble back around
[Solo](chords as verse except last line) C D C C D G
G
Since I became my own man

C
Everything that matters to me is

G      Em               C
Making sure I'm staying true

G
To my friends and the ones I love

C
'Til I cross that river

G
All alone I'm movin' on

C        D       G
Until my time is through

C
Ain't it like they always say

D
Everybody goes their own way

G                        C
Nobody knows, no one can tell

G
It's always been the same for me

C
Guess it's just the way it must be

G
It's always been the same for me

C
Guess it's just the way it must be

G
It's always been the same for me

C
Guess it's just the way it must be

G       D               C
Headin' down that dusty trail
