This Highways Home


This is my first attempt at a submission, but I couldn't find this song anywhere, so I gave it a shot. It's a great song, hope this helps. It sounds right to me, but I'll apologize in advance for any errors. G D Beat up and kicked around G C I pick myself up off the ground. G D I head east to another town G I'm movin' on. G D Bar room fights and breakin' glass G C A broken nose and a smoker's laugh. G D G I'm sure I probably cut my life in half. ***CHORUS*** C G With a suitcase full of empty dreams. D G A guitar with broken strings. C G D A busted heart that longs to sing the blues. C G A mind that always leads me wrong, D G A head full of Hank Williams songs. C D G I'm sorry, honey, but this highway's home. G D I've loved pretty women and some that ain't. G C I'm a burned out junkie truck stop saint, G D So check the tires and fill the tank, G I'm movin' on. G D Interstate markers and highway signs, G C Eighteen wheels and thin white lines. G D Dodge a speed trap one more time, G I'm gone. ***REPEAT CHORUS*** Bm C So hard to leave you here this way, Bm C With a white dress and a goodbye wave. Bm C But theres mouths to feed and bills to pay, D I'm sorry, honey, I've got to go. ***HARMONICA SOLO*** ***REPEAT CHORUS*** ***END***
