Adventure On the Road

©2009 Garrett Clevenger

 

E    A              Rollin’ down the road one day.          What more can I say?

B      E             I got my lady by my side                    and we’re headin’ on our way.

E    A              Up ahead the sun is low                      as we are heading east.

B      E             Which means we’ve got lots of light like it outta be.

 

Chorus:

B  A    E          A great old American adventure on the road.

B  A  B            Sometimes it seems to me      we are born to roam

E    A              with or without a map.            Like a rollin' stone.

B      E             A great old American adventure on the road.

 

{chorus}

 

E    A              From the Sound of Seattle      up the Rockies reachin' high

B      E             over the Great Plains              where wagons used to ride.

E    A              Now highways connect it all and eastward we our bound

B      E             'til we swim in the Atlantic     and hear another ocean's sound.

 

{chorus}

 

E    A              It don't matter where you're from       we all need to roll

B      E             and maybe the best things                   how you feel when you get home

E    A              but that ain't for a while.                     We still got the open road.

B      E             Let's shift into a higher gear               as our adventure unfolds.

 

{chorus}
