The Road Goes On and On Robert Earl Keen
(Verse 1)
[G]I don't care wha[D]t you say
[Am]I never liked you anyw[C]ay
[G]Wouldn't give you the t[C]ime of day
If I h[D]ad the time to spend
[G]You're malicious and dow[D]nright cruel
[Am]Superstitious, so unco[C]ol
[G]Best wishes, you loudmo[C]uthed fool
I hope[D] I never see you [G]again
(Chorus)
[G]You're a regular j[D]ack in the box
In your c[Am]lown suit and your [C]goldilocks
[G] [C] [D] [G]
[G]How in the hell do you [D]think you'll make it
When the r[Am]eal test comes and you [C]just can't fake it
Your s[G]ycophants say t[C]hey can't take it and [D]leave you lyin' [G]flat
(Verse 2) Same progression throughout
Well you started out in the wild wild west
Your tin star pinned to your bulletproof vest
I must say we were all impressed - but not as much as you
But your horse is drunk and your friends got tired
Your aim grew weak and uninspired
You robbed a train but your gun misfired
Blew a hole right through your shoe
(Chorus)
Yeah, you're a regular jack in the box
In your clown suit and your goldilocks
All duded up in your cowboy crocs singing the same old song
How in the hell do you think you'll make it
When the real test comes and you just can't fake it
Your sycophants say they can't take it and leave you on your own
(Verse 3)
Now you only rant and rave
p**s and moan and misbehave
You lost your grip on that flag you wave
But you wave it right or wrong
They're still tryin to make amends maybe win back some of your old friends
Real cowboys say the party never ends and the road goes on and on and on
And on...
