[Verse]
Am Am/G Am
Man walkin‘ long the railroad tracks
C G
Goin‘ some place there’s no going back

Highway patrol choppers comin‘ up over the ridge
Am Am/G Am
Hot soup on a campfire under the bridge
Am/G Am
Shelter line stretchin‘ round the corner
C G
Welcome to the new world order

Families sleepin‘ in their cars in the Southwest
Am Am/G Am
No home no job no peace no rest

[Chorus]
F
The highway is alive tonight
C C/B Am
But nobody’s kiddin‘ nobody about where it goes
G
I’m sittin‘ down here in the campfire light
