[Verse]
F C
Highway boys in the road tonight
F C
Got a gig out at the rhyming
F C
Finally learned the hard way
Am G/B C
That all good things take time, my friend
F C
Of a paying lost soul
F C
To sing his songs true
F C
They make a southern boy cry
Am G/B C
Turn a northeast man confused
[Verse]
F C
And I awoke with a fever
F C
Sweating oceans again
F C
There’s mirrors in hotel rooms
Am G/B C
But I Do not recognize them
F C
Maybe it’s the feeling
F C
That I get in my sleep
F C
But all the memories in my mind
Am G/B C
Are only mine to keep
[Chorus]
F C G Am
I wanna ride like eighteen, way back when
F C G Am
Sleep next to the river, hear it rushing again
F C G Am
Give my no-good soul back to where it belong
F C G Am
And Do my best to keep truth in songs
F C G C
And Do my best to keep truth in songs
[Instrumental]
F C F C

F C Am G/B C
………………
[Verse]
F C
And all of my old friends miss
F C
Having me around, but
F C
Highways work both ways
Am G/B C
And I can’t stand the liars in town
F C
If you need me you can find me
F C
Slightly outta control
F C
‘Cause highway boys don’t rest
Am G/B C
And don’t hang hats till they’re home
[Verse]
F C
Highway boys in the road tonight
F C
Got a gig out at the rhyming
F C
They finally found out the hard way
Am G/B C
That this sound I got is my mine, man
[Bridge]
F C
So if you need me, call
F C
If you’re in love, fall
F C
Just know that highways boys
Am G/B C
Don’t stick around at all
[Chorus]
F C G Am
I wanna ride like eighteen, way back when
F C G Am
Sleep next to the river, hear it rushing again
F C G Am
Give my no-good soul back to where it belong
F C G Am
And Do my best to keep truth in songs
F C G C
And Do my best to keep truth in songs
[Instrumental]
