[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
