A
Well, I can recall where I'm from
A
But I think its where them cowboys are born
          D   A                   D   A
Along the highway, oh, along this highway


A
My momma said when I was born
    A
The look in your eyes well I could he’s gonna run
          D   A                   D   A
Along the highway, oh, along this highway

[Chorus]
E                               A
And I ride oh I see through the smoke
E                               A
Engine rolls carry me on to the west coast
        D                             A
And the same sunny rays oh I see everyday
E                               A
Risin above, oh, a lonesome highway

[Verse]
 A
And all I have are these two hands
 A
And these two thumbs, hitchin my way across the land
          D   A                   D   A
Along the highway, oh, along this highway

 A
Now I might die a broken mans son
 A
But I will ride until I can reach the sun
          D   A                   D   A
Along the highway, oh, along this highway

[Solo]
A D A D A

[Verse]
 A
My momma said when I was young
 A
The look in your eyes well I could tell he’s gonna run
       D   A                   D   A
On the highway, oh, along this highway
