One Too Many Roads(Chords)

	        
 
 
D                                       F#m 
Stumblin' my way through life on those back roads of Texas 
G                                  A 
Lord I guess I've seen a thing or two 
           D                             F#m 
There's a song in every smile, and not knowin' where the next is 
          G                                 A 
Keeps my baggage packed and my mind on the move 
      Bm                         A 
I've shared a lady's company in more than just one town 
      G                             A 
When daylight comes a callin', I'm nowhere to be found 
     D                                   F#m       G 
So I find myself searching, but there's nowhere to go 
                      A              D 
'Cause I've been down one too many roads 
 
G              A              D 
I've been down one too many roads 
Bm                                    G           A 
I've found out the hard way ain't the only way to go 
         G              A               D              Bm 
And the miles I've put behind me have left me a little slow 
        G             A             D 
'Cause I've been down one too many roads
 
 
 
Spent many a night alone, my coat draped across my shoulder 
Chasin' headlights with my thumb in the air 
And each truck that passes by makes me feel a little older 
Makes me wonder, what the hell am I doing here 
When I see those brake lights shining, I get that feeling down inside 
When I crawl up in the cab, I know it's just another ride 
I try hard to hide it, but I know it must show 
That I've been down one too many roads 
 
(repeat chorus) 
 
When I was just 16, I fell in love with music 
And taught myself to play this old guitar 
I'd write all about my life, but they said they couldn't use it 
Now I know why Nashville seems so far 
Now I'm playing where I can for the money and the beer 
Thank God for Texas, thank God I'm here 
And if they wanted me in Nashville, I don't think I'd go 
'Cause I've been down one too many roads 
 
(repeat chorus) 
 
'Cause I've been down one too many roads
