E
I woke up this afternoon and
looked into your eyes
And somethin' was as wrong as
if the sun forgot to rise
A
I picked up a road map and
                                     E
I checked a few good places that I know
        B7
And if you're no longer givin',
A7                               E
I believe I'll hit the road and go

I just got the feeling that
the fire was burning out
Because the air was turning
colder every time you came about
And a flame won't take a fanning
if the last reserve of love is running low
So since I've gotta button up,
I believe I'll hit the road and go

Country road 6-40 state highway 45,
life out of the interstate is very much alive
There's magic in the mountains
and music in the valleys down below
And my song ain't through playin'
yet so I believe I'll hit the road and go

Good morning to you sunshine,
good morning to you rain
The windshield wiper's
rhythm keeps me singing down the pain
Today I'm going to miss you less,
if I miss you at all,
you'll never know, you'll never know
This rambler has cut all the ties
and pulled up stakes to hit the road and go
This rambler has cut all the ties
and pulled up stakes to hit the road and go
