| 1.I | 'd rather be home, |
| G | D | |
| But I make my livin' on the | go |
| Big silver eagle spreads her wings |
| E | A | |
| And drops u | s at another show |
| D | |
| I th | ink about holdin' my baby tonight |
| G | D | |
| As I liste | n to the big wheels roll |
| Three days into a six-week tour, |
| G | A | D | |
| G | etting in the rhythm of | the road |
| 2.We pick and sing, |
| Say "goodnight" then we'll be flyin' |
| My world's a chain of one-night-stands |
| Strung together by the center line |
| I don't know where I'll wake up tomorrow, |
| But I can't let the tempo slow |
| Every town is just another beat, |
| livin' in the rhythm of the road |
| (Chorus) |
| G | |
| Th | e rhythm of the road's got a mind of its own |
| If you find it it'll drive you insane |
| D | |
| Like the | clackity-clack of a railroad track |
| D7 | |
| I'm rattlin' like an old freight train |
| G | |
| To | wns are flashin' by, the folks are wavin' "hi" |
| They all start to look the same |
| E | |
| Gotta stop f | or a minute, be glad I'm in it |
| A | |
| Rem | ember just why I came |
| (Instrumental) |
| 3.Those highway signs, Lord, they keep me on the move |
| I think about givin' it up sometimes, |
| And gettin' in a diff'ren groove |
| But I just let the days slide by, |
| Get goin' with the flow |
| A four/four beat's the only time I keep, |
| livin' in the rhythm of the road |
| A four/four beat's the only time I keep, |
| livin' in the rhythm of the road |
| Livin' in the rhythm of the road |
