[D] [D/C#] [D/B] [D/A]
[D]I gave [D/C#]up the [D/B]fast lan[D/A]e for a [G]blacktop [G/F#]county [Em]road
[D]Just burned out all that talk a[A]bout the mother lode
[D]I traded [D/C#]for a [D/B]songbird[D/A] and a[G] bigger [G/F#]piece of [Em]sky
[D]When I miss the good old days, I [A]can�t imagine [D]why
Chorus:
Still I get [G]restless and drive into [D]town
I [A]cruise once down Main Street and turn back ar[D]ound
It�s crazy but [G]God knows I don�t act my [D]age
Like an old desper[A]ado who paints the town [D]beige
[D] [D/C#] [D/B] [D/A]
Down along the river and past the swimming hole
You can find your peace of mind with just a fishin� pole
And you can walk the river for miles and miles on end
And never stop believin� in that dream around the bend
Chorus
Deep down in the winter time slows to a crawl
There�s really nothin� much to do until the first spring thaw
It�s then I get to thinkin� I must have gone insane
Old memories roll through my mind like a long slow railroad train
