Lyrics

G d
Take a silver dollar and put it in your pocket
A e
Never let it slip away
G d a
Always be a man, not a boy gone astray
D d/c# bm bm/a e a
When ya get half cra-zy from the august heat
D d/c# bm bm/a
Or on a frozen, rotted road
E
With no one to complain to about your achin' feet

(Chorus:)
A g d a
You're gonna walk that endless highway
D e a
Walk that high-way till you die
G d a
All you children goin' my way
D e a
Better tell your home-life sweet goodbye

When I see a detour up ahead
Well, I leave it far behind
Who knows what you're apt to find there
With the cost of livin, and the price of dyin'
Well it look like t'me this time I wont be buyin'

(Chorus)

When they get a scapegoat by the throat
It's hard labour and cold beans
If ya get away real quick
You'll be eatin from the poison peanut machine
Well, I sing by night, wander by day
I'm on the road and it looks like I'm here to stay

(Chorus)
