 F                   C 
Highway boys on the road tonight 
       F              C 
Got a gig out at the Ryman 
 F                   C 
Finally learned the hard way 
     Am        G           C           C 
That all good things take time, friend 
F                      C 
I heard they'll pay a lost soul 
F                  C 
To sing his songs true 
 F                        C 
That make a southern boy cry or 
        Am        G      C 
Turn a northeast man confused
[Strophe]
 F                  C 
And I awoke with a fever 
 F                 C 
Sweating oceans again 
 F                    C 
There's mirrors in hotel rooms 
      Am      G         C   C 
But I do not recognize them  
 F              C               F         C 
Maybe it's the feeling that I, get in my sleep 
 F                       C 
That all the memories in my mind 
    Am    G       C   C 
Are only mine to keep
[Refrain]
         F        C        G        Am 
I wanna ride that K-10 to way back when 
      F            C              G      Am 
Sleep next to the river, hear it rushing again 
       F        C            G          Am 
Get my no good soul back to wherе it belongs 
    F      C            G        Am 
And do my best to keep truth in songs  
F      C 
Do my best to keep truth in songs

[Strophe]
 F             C                F           C 
And all of my old friеnds miss having me around 
      F             C 
But, highways work both ways 
       Am              G        C   C 
And I can't stand the liars in town  
F                       C 
If you need me you can find me 
 F                   C 
Slightly out of control 
 F                   C 
'Cause Highway boys don't rest 
           Am         G         C  C 
And don't hang hats 'til their home
[Strophe]
 F                   C 
Highway boys on the road tonight 
       F              C 
Got a gig out at the Ryman 
 F                          C 
They finally found out the hard way 
           Am      G      C 
That this sound I got is mine man
[Interlude]
F                   C 
So, if you need me call 
F                   C 
If you're in love, fall 
 F              C                  Am      G       C 
Just know that highway boys don't stick around at all
[Refrain]
         F        C        G        Am 
I wanna ride that K-10 to way back when 
      F            C              G      Am 
Sleep next to the river, hear it rushing again 
       F        C            G          Am 
Get my no good soul back to wherе it belongs 
    F      C            G        Am 
And do my best to keep truth in songs  
    F      C 
And do my best to keep truth in songs

That this sound I got is mine man
