	Well these Highway Forty	Blues,	I've walked holes in both my	shoes.

	F#m	B	E
Counted the days since I've been	gone,	And I'd love to see the lights of	home.

	A	B	E	B
Wasted time and money	too,	Squandered youth in search of	truth,

	C#m	F#	B
	But in the end I had to	lose Lord above I've paid my	dues

got the Highway Forty	Blues.

Verse 2;

The highway called when I was young, Told me lies of things to come.

Fame and fortune lies ahead, That's what the billboard lights had said.

Shattered dreams my mind is numb, My money's gone stick out my thumb.

My eyes are filled with bitter tears, Lord I ain't been home in years,

Got the Highway Forty Blues.

Verse 3:

You know I've rambled all around, Like a rolling stone from town to town.

Met pretty girls I have to say, but none of them could make me stay.

Well I've played the music halls and bars, Had fancy clothes and big fine cars,

Things a country boy can't use, Dixie Land I sure miss you,

Got the Highway Forty Blues.
