He was standing by the highway

with a sign that just said mother 
D 
when he heard a driver coming  
        E           A 
about a half a mile away 
 
D 
so he held the sign up higher 
D 
so no decent soul could miss it

D 
though he never was that famous 
D 
he was just a road musician 
       E                A 
to the taverns he would go 
 
D 
singing songs about the rambling 
D 
the loving girls and gambling 
D 
how the world fell on his shoulder 
        A               D 
back in boulder I don't know 
 
D 
it was out in arizona 
D 
and he heard the lady listening 
D 
to each word that he was singing 
        E                  A 
to each line that he would write 
 
D 
so he sat down by her table

but his troubles are not over 
D 
his feet are almost frozen 
        E              A
