[Verse 1]
E
I'm a smokestack with no looking back
E D
A regretful path I've left behind
E
The only seat left in the whole damn county
G A E
Was a stool to forget the time
G A E
Now I lay it on the line
[Verse 2]
E
I'm a howling wind, I'm a jumping jack
E D
I packed my bag and hit the road
E
Never again will I fall so easy
G A E
With some steam down in the hole
G A E
And a boiler full of coal
[Chorus]
A E
Don't stop now, you got me runnin'
A E
I'm just getting started
A E
After all these miles we've roamed
G#m A
Such a long, long way to go
G#m A B E
Let me take you home
[Instrumental]

[Verse 3]
E
I'm a sturgeon moon, I'm a rising line
E D
I fight my pride like it's a sin
E
The day is long, and my heart is knockin'
G A E
And the world is starting to spin
G A E
And the current's kicking in
[Chorus]
A E
Don't stop now, you got me runnin'
A E
I'm just getting started
A E
After all these miles we've roamed
G#m A
Such a long, long way to go
G#m A B E
Let me take you home
[Instrumental]
| E | D | E | E |
| G A | E | G A | E | E |
[Bridge]
D E
Now I'm standing on the edge
D E
Not knowing what comes next
F#m A E
There may be a fork in the road
A B5 C5 C#5 D#5
Nothin' can stop these wheels from rolling
E
Quench this thirst for loving my dear
E D
Take me to the river and wash me clean
E G A E
Did I, did I, did I, did I hear your footsteps down the stairs?
G A E
Yeah, your footsteps down the stairs?
[Chorus]
A E
Don't stop now, you got me runnin'
A E
I'm just getting started
A E
After all these miles we've roamed
G#m A
Such a long, long way to go
G#m A B E
Let me take you home
