A Road Is Just A Road

INTRO: C  G  C  G   C

                   G
He pulled out in a cloud of dust
C                 F
Laying rubber and spewing rust
       Am            G
And on any road he'd take
                  F                         Dm           G    C
Oh, he'd have his foot on the pedal, but my heart on the brake


               G
Underneath the smooth tar curves
  C            F
A road is only dust and dirt
     Am          G
On a lonely interchange
    F         Dm        G
The signs all look the same


CHORUS:
         C              G          F                G
'Cause a road is just a road and a feeling's just a feeling
   C                G        F              G
No matter where you go, from Bakersfield to San Antone
  C              G             F               Am/E        F
A road is just a road when the one you love is leaving on
            Am/E       G                C
Midnight's another dawn, hundred miles ago


                       G
His wheels spun out of sight of me
      C                F
Oh, believing that I'd set him free
        Am                     G
But I'd heard the voice of the prisoner
          F             Dm       G
Saying he couldn't get enough of her


              G
You can go by land and you can go by air
          C         F
You go by sea, hell I don't care
Am             G
Go any way you choose
F                             Dm         G
Wearing out the soles of your travelling shoes


CHORUS:
         C              G          F                G
'Cause a road is just a road and a feeling's just a feeling
   C                G        F                G
No matter where you go, from Bangor, Maine to El Paso
  C              G             F               Am/E        F
A road is just a road when the one you love is leaving on
            Am/E        G                 C    Bb
Midnight's another dawn, a hundred miles ago


BRIDGE:
                    F
And every sleepless night I see him
C                F
Screaming by the scenery
    Bb        F
Not noticing another mile
       C                   F
That's rolled down between him and me
            G    C G
Oh, him and me____


INSTRUMENTAL: C  G  C  G   C


CHORUS:
         C              G          F                G
'Cause a road is just a road and a feeling's just a feeling
   C                G        F           G
No matter where you go, from Waterloo to San Bernardino
  C              G             F               Am/E        F
A road is just a road when the one you love is leaving on
            Am/E        G                 C
Midnight's another dawn, a hundred miles ago


CHORUS:
         C              G          F                G
'Cause a road is just a road and a feeling's just a feeling
   C                G        F             G
No matter where you go, from Washington to Amarillo
  C              G             F               Am/E        F
A road is just a road when the one you love is leaving on
            Am/E        G                 C
Midnight's another dawn, a hundred miles ago
