On the Lonesome Road

G
Well I've rambled coast to coast seen the cities of the plains
G C G
Where they know my face but they don't know my name
G
I made music and whiskey in the hills of Tennessee
Em D G
I forget more places than most folks ever see
Chorus:
D C G
On the lonesome road I'm headed down
D C G
The highways roll from town to town
Em D C
Just keep movin' on but might come back someday
G D G
I've got miles to travel and a heart full of songs to play
If I had a dollar for every song I've played
I'd bet you a dollar that my bills would all be paid
If I owed you a dollar for every love I lost
Don't show me the tab I can't bear to know the cost
Chorus
When I get weary, I wonder where to go
When the road gets dark and the nights get cold
I want to find a place where restless souls like me
Can hear an old fiddle tune and a harmony
Chorus
