E                         A                           E                             B7
Well I was playing guitar when I was just a lad. that swinging rhythm took a hold on me
E                              A                     E         B7          E
When we hit that groove lord I feel like I belong. music and myself are family
E                            A          E                                  B7
Well I like living on this highway for many years it's been the way I've known
E                               A                           E
But no matter where I been, no matter where I roam, I'm a shootin star from texas
         B7             E
But the interstates my home.
