Maps don't do much for me, friend I follow the weather and the wind I'm hitch hikin' all day long Got what I can carry and my song I'm a rolling stone just rolling on Catch me now 'cause tomorrow, I'll be gone Family man gives me a ride Got his pregnant Sally at his side Yes indeed, sir, children are a gift Thank you kindly for the lift

I'm hitch hikin' all day long Trucker gears his engine down Says, "Climb on up, son, I'm highway-bound" Dashboard picture of a pretty girl I'm ridin' high on top of the world I'm hitch hikin' all day long Gearhead in a souped-up '72 Wants to show a kid just what this thing 'll do Telephone poles and trees go whizzin' by Thank you, pal, she sure can fly I'm hitch hikin' all day long I'm hitch hikin' all day long I'm hitch hikin' all day long |

It's the same sad story, love and glory goin' round and round

Bbmaj7

Fmaj7

It's the same old cliche, a wanderer on his way, slippin' from town to town

Fmaj7

Some find peace here on the sweet streets, the sweet streets of home

Bbmaj7

Fmaj7

Where kindness falls and your heart calls for a permanent place of your own

Ebmaj7

Bbmaj7

I'm a wayfarer, baby, I drift from town to town

Bbmaj7

When everyone's asleep and the midnight bells sound

Bbmaj7

Fmaj7

My wheels are hissin' up the highway, spinning round and round You start out slow in a sweet little bungalow, something two can call home Then rain comes fallin', the blues come calling, and you're left with a heart of stone Some folks are inspired sitting by the fire, slippers tucked under the bed But when I go to sleep I can't count sheep for the white lines in my head I'm a wayfarer, baby, I roam from town to town When everyone's asleep and the midnight bells sound My wheels are hissin' up the highway, spinning round and round

Ebmaj7

Where are you now, where are you now?

I got so down-and-out in Frisco

C

Tired of the pills and the rain

G

I picked up, headed for the sunshine

C

G

I left a good thing behind

C

G

Seemed all of our love was in vain

G

D

G

Now my baby's coming in on the Tucson train I come here lookin' for a new life One I wouldn't have to explain To that voice that keeps me awake at night When a little peace would make everything right If I could just turn off my brain But now my baby's coming in on the Tucson train

C

G

We fought hard over nothin' We fought till nothin' remained I've carried that nothin' for a long time

G

Now I carry my operator's license

D

And spend my days just runnin' this crane

G

And my baby's coming in on the Tucson train Hard work 'll clear your mind and body The hard sun will burn out the pain If they're lookin' for me, tell 'em, buddy I'm waitin' down at the station Just prayin' to the five fifteen I'll wait all God's creation Just to show her a man can change Now my baby's coming in on the Tucson train

C

G

On the Tucson train On the Tucson train Waitin' on the five fifteen

Here she comes

Some lost sheep from Oklahoma sips her Mojito down at the Whiskey Bar

Tonight the riders on Sunset are smothered in the Santa Ana winds

At Sleepy Joe's Cafe I drive on down from the big town Friday when the clock strikes five As the red sun sets in the ocean, I start to come alive Summer girls in the parking lot slap on their makeup and they flirt the night away At Sleepy Joe's Cafe

Joe came home in '45 and took out a GI loan

Just drive fast, fall hard At nineteen, I was the king of the dirt down at the Remington draw I liked the pedal and I didn't mind the wall Amidst the roar of the metal I never heard a sound I was looking for anything, any kind of drug to lift me up off this ground Drive fast, fall hard, I'll keep you in my heart Don't worry about tomorrow, don't mind the scars Just drive fast, fall hard

Just wishing you were here with me, in Sundown Sundown ain't the kind of place you want to be on your own It's all long, hot, endless days and cold nights all alone I drift from bar to bar, here in lonely town

Just wishing you were here with me, come sundown

In Sundown the cafes are filled with lovers passing time

In Sundown all I've got's trouble on my mind So I work all day out here on the county line I tell myself it's all just gonna work out in time When summer's through, you'll come around

At the Moonlight Motel Now the pool's filled with empty, eight foot deep Got dandelions growin' up through the cracks in the concrete Chain-link fence half-rusted away Got a sign, says, "Children, be careful how you play" Your lipstick taste and your whispered secret I promised I'd never tell A half-drunk beer and your breath in my ear At the Moonlight Motel

Of the Moonlight Motel Last night I dreamed of you, my lover And the wind blew through the window and blew off the covers Of my lonely bed, I woke to something you said That it's better to have loved, yeah, it's better to have loved As I drove, there was a chill in the breeze And leaves tumbled from the sky and fell On a road so black as I backtracked To the Moonlight Motel
