[Verse 1]
C Dm F C
No money in my pocket but a cigarette in my mouth
C Am D7 G7
No fixed destination cept some vague direction south
F G C Em Am
Bedroll on my shoulder a guitar for company
C G F C
Some Woody Guthrie songs and the road in front of me
C G F C

[Verse 2]
C Dm F C
Didn't need to hear a freight train to know Sonny Terry's harp
C Am D7 G7
Was an aching cry for freedom whistling in my dark
F G C Em Am
A simple leap of faith that reason can't erode
C G F C
Grabbed my coat and my guitar and headed for the road
C G F C

[Verse 3]
C Dm F C
At night my coat a pillow, I lay memorising stars
C Am D7 G7
Like some deserted lover my arm around my guitar
F G C Em Am
Promises get broken, reason searches rhyme
C G F C
Conscience held to ransom, hostage to the road and time
C G F C

[Verse 4]
C Dm F C
Below the lies of heaven a frightened world must spin
C Am D7 G7
Discerning between things you're taught and what you learned within
F G C Em Am
The evening sky is fading to the colour of my jeans
C G F C
I'm writing with my finger in the dust that falls from dreams
C G F C

[Verse 5]
C Dm F C
Beyond the endless night, I glimpsed infinity
C Am D7 G7
I shivered at the joke until the rain soaked into me
F G C Em Am
And woke me at the roadside just as the day was dawning
C G F C
Grabbed my guitar and my coat and walked into the morning
C G F C
Grabbed my guitar and my coat and walked into the morning
