Texas Blacktop Highway
By Django Walker
C F C F
C F C F
I spent my whole life on the open road
C F G
That blacktop Texas highway’s all I know
Am G F
And Monday mornin’ neither rain or shine came early every week
C G F
Bills to pay many more deadlines to meet
C F C F
I tried to fight the urge not to run away
C F G
Even now my pride is left unpaid
Am G F
But a good man does what he should do and he takes things face to face
C G F C
So I guess I have to face that lonely highway for another day
Chorus:
G F C
So I’m movin on cause I got dreams I won’t let die
G F C
No road is left forgotten as I drive into the night
Am G F
I try so hard to carry on the words that my daddy preached
C G F C
But I guess I have to fight that lonely highway for another week
Late night radio is my best friend
Talkin of the places that I never been
But I promise that I see the world I heard so much about
Wondrin’ full of ???? could be my way, could be my way out
Chorus
I tried to find a place I could settle down
But that blacktop Texas highway can’t be found
But about the time I get there and my suitcase is unpacked
Those rolling wheels keep callin me, calling me on back
Chorus
