C     Em     G            D
Every day starts out the same 
G               D          C          G
With no one to talk to and no one to blame  
C         Em          G        D
Well I left Texas when I was twenty-one  
G        D               C        G
I had to see the world out on the run 
 
C            Em          G       D
Yeah I called home every now and again 
  
G              D             C
Wish I could see my momma's smile 
  
           G   D
But there I go 
 
               C         G
Burnin' up the hiiiiiiiighway  
C         Em           D
I'm gonna make it on my own

My sister called me late last night  
G           D           C
something's happened to dad  
C      Em                G        D
I said I'll be there by the morning light  
G         D         C
and I left Tulsa far behind  
            G  D
Yeah here I go 
 
               C        G
Burnin' up the hiiiiiiighway

I pulled into town by the dawn 
G            D             C
Not much has changed around here 
C       Em         G      D
I went straight to see my dad  
G                 D               C
He smiled and said thank god your here  
             G D
But here I go  
                          C   G
