Intro:
D#5 A#5 D#5 A#5 D#5 A#5 G#5 A#5
D#5 A#5
Well the sun rose fast on his whiskey smile
D#5 A#5
He waved goodbye to the west and held on for a while
D#5 A#5 G#5 A#5
He said we don't need this town no more.
D#5 A#5 D#5 A#5
There's things ahead worth seeing and there's trials to fill the sky
D#5 A#5 G#5 A#5
If we stay we're still just dreaming if we don't get out and ride
C5
He said kicking dirt is just kicking dust
G#5
'Till you're headed fast on an outbound bus
C5 G#5
And my heart is a million miles away.
C5
Remember me, I'm coming back
G#5 C5 G#5 A#5
Who knows how long, who knows how long, but I'm as good as gone anyway.
D#5 A#5 D#5 A#5
My feet won't tire from walking and my throat will always sting,
D#5 A#5 G#5 A#5
But there ain't no road that's long enough to beat me. TO beat me.
D#5 A#5 D#5 A#5
My feet won't tire from walking and my throat will always sting,

But there ain't no road that's long enough to beat me. TO beat me.
