72 (This Highway's Mean) Drive-By Truckers
Intro D G D G
[D]Don't know why they even bother putting this [G]highway on the map
[D]Everybody that's ever been on it knows [G]exactly where they're at
[A]Hells on both ends of it
[G]And no where's in between
This highway's mea[D]n[G]
[D]Seems like it's always hot down here, [G]no matter when you come
[D]It's the kind of heat that holds you like a [G]mama holds her son
[A]Tight when he tries to walk, [G]even tighter if he runs
[A]It's a mean old dusty highway
[G]But it's the only one that'll get you there[A]
[Bm]Tha[G]t'll get you there
[Bm]Mean old highway
[G]Stuck to the [D]ground in Mississip[Bm]pi
It's the [G]one'll set me fre[D]e
[G]It's the same one that I see
[A]Being ripped up off the ground and wrapped [G]around me
[A]Don't let it fool you this highway's mea[D]n
[D]I don't need a map to tell me w[G]here I am today
[D]This feeling that I have has [G]always led the way
[A]Down here, you're running from a broken heart
[G]Or to a heart that you have to break on [D]this mean old highway
