Capo on 2nd fret

G  G  D  D    G  G  C  C    G  G  D  D    G  G  G  G 
 
G           G        D         D 
  He pulled out in a cloud of dust 
G        G          C       C 
  Laying rubber and spewing rust 
       Em  Em        D    D 
And on any road he'd take 
              C           G/B          Am             D 
He'd have his foot on the pedal and my heart on the brake(break) 
 
G      G           D        D 
  Underneath the smooth tar curves 
G           G    C        C 
  A road is only dust and dirt 
     Em     Em     D   D 
On a lonely interchange 
    C         Am        D   D 
The signs all look the same 
 
         G       G       D   D       C         C       D      D 
'Cause a road is just a road   and a feeling's just a feeling 
   G      G          D  D      C     C     D      D 
No matter where you go,   from Waterloo to Wichita 
  G       G       D   D          C         C     Em/B     Em/B 
A road is just a road   that the one you love is leaving on 
C        C        Em/B    Em/B   D     D       G  G    G   G 
  And midnight's another dawn,     100 miles ago     
 
His wheels spun out of sight of me 
Believing that I'd set him free 
But I'd heard the voice of the prisoner 
Saying he couldn't get enough of her 
 
You go by land, you go by air 
You go by sea, hell I don't care 
You can go any way you choose 
Wearing out the soles of your traveling shoes 
 
And a road is just a road and a feeling's just a feeling 
No matter where you go, from Bangor, Maine to Bakersfield 
A road is just a road that the one you love is leaving on 
And midnight's another dawn, a hundred miles ago 
 
Solo (Chorus Chords) 
 
F           F         C       C 
  And every sleepless night I see him 
G          G     C      C   C   C 
Screaming by the scenery 
    F    F     C      C 
Not noticing another mile 
       G       G           C        C   C   C    D   D   D   D 
That's rolled down between him and me 
 
'Cause a road is just a road and a feeling's just a feeling 
No matter where you go, from Saskatoon to San Antone 
A road is just a road that the one you love is leaving on 
And midnight's another dawn, a hundred miles ago 
 
Yes, a road is just a road and a feeling's just a feeling 
No matter where you go, from San Bernardino to Sault Ste.Marie 
A road is just a road that the one you love is leaving on 
And midnight's another dawn, a hundred miles ago
