Marching Tune

     A              D               E
When I left home my mama said “this boy ain’t no good”.
     A              D               E
She kissed my cheek, waved goodbye, guess she never had a clue.
     A              D               E
The chapter closed I headed south, the flowers were in bloom.
     A              D               E
All the beauty in the world could not match my marching tune.

     A              D               E
I met the people of the road, we got along just fine.
     A              D               E
The visions I had as a child slowly came to life.
     A              D               E
I saw cheaters cheat their hearts, I saw stranded men,
     A              D               E                 A
and I saw the world unfolding in the palm of my right hand.

A      D            E         A
Living on the road, I do as I please.
    A       D           E              A
I’m writing my own book full of sudden twists.
A           D                 E               A
Heartbreak, sleepless nights, got no time for that.
    A                     D                        E                A
The things I’ve done, the things I’ve seen are the only things that count
Alright, alright.

      A              D               E                   A
It’s been a year driving around, I don’t miss the quiet life.
    A              D               E                   A
I have my lunch before the dawn and sleep beneath the stars.
 A           D               E                   A
Family is not for me, I’m not waiting for the call.
   A              D                    E                A
I got my car and a bunch of maps and I go where I wanna go.

A      D            E         A
Living on the road, I do as I please.
    A       D           E              A
I’m writing my own book full of sudden twists.
A           D                 E               A
Heartbreak, sleepless nights, got no time for that.
    A                     D                        E        A
The things I do, the things I see are making babies in my mind.
Alright, alright.

 D       E              A                  D
So many lives, I don’t want to choose just one.
           E             A           D  E           E
Where the hills kiss the sky I’ll be fine, I’ll be fine.

A      D            E         A
Living on the road, I do as I please.
    A       D           E              A
I’m writing my own book full of sudden twists.
A           D                 E               A
Heartbreak, sleepless nights, got no time for that.
    A                     D                        E        A
The things I do, the things I see are making babies in my mind.
