As recorded by Rory Gallagher (From the 1976 Album CALLING CARD) [Intro] E5 [Verse 1]
E5
Well I was born on the side of a road

E5
A gap in the hedge

E5
Did you hear what I said

E5
Born in a house with no slates

E5
But I wouldn't switch

E5
I didn't have a stitch

E5
Always been out on a limb

E5
I've been hard to mend

E5
Like a kick in the shins

G5                 D5
You'll only see me smile

       G5       D5      E5 N.C.
When I eat up a country mile
[Verse 2]
E5
Born on the green light, a mission to move

E5
Something to prove, an itch in my shoes

E5
I heard then wail of a train

E5
From a burnin' stack and I jumped on the back

E5
Well the engineer threw the switch

E5
And it got to my brain, I've never been the same

G5                 D5
You'll only see me smile

       G5       D5      E5 N.C. E5
When I eat up a country mile
[Bridge]
A5
Gotta make tracks, gotta raise the dust

A5
Grease my heels

A5
Out race the bus

A5
Don't blink your eyes

                     B5 N.C.
Or you won't see me again
[Guitar Solo] E5 [Piano Solo] A5 B5 [Interlude] E5 [Verse 3]
E5
Born a spoke of the wheel

E5
Not a part of the set and I'm running yet

E5
I ran before I could walk

E5
The price of the fare was hardly ever there

E5
Saw an eight wheeler move

E5
And I couldn't choose

E5
I just had to cruise

G5                 D5
You'll only see me smile

       G5       D5      E5
When I eat up a country mile
[Verse 4]
