I left the cold and rain behind, I drove out west to Memphis  
A                      B             A         B      E 
South across the Mississippi line, I rolled my window down  
                                                      B 
Big river runnin' on my right, turtles on the banks a walkin'  
      A                      B            A          B       E 
Don't know how far I'm gonna get tonight, forty-nine keep on talkin'  

A B E Some roads are made for drivin' fast, and some roads are made for walkin' A B E Some roads are made to ease my mind, forty-nine keep on talkin'
Chorus chords w/ fiddle solo verse 2: E B Now me and her we called it love, what the hell did it matter A B A B E But when the pushin' came to shove, I didn't have much to say B Guess I'm better off on my own, no she won't hear me knockin' A B A B E This west bound lane gonna be my home, forty-nine keep on talkin' Verse chords w/ 1-part acoustic guitar solo, 1-part accordion solo verse 3: E B See the black girl with long blonde hair, up on top of the levee A B A B E What's she thinkin' 'bout standin there, what does she see today B A dusty haze in the settin' sun, the crows on the wires watchin' A B A B E I let two miles turn into twenty-one, forty-nine keep on talkin' Chorus x2
