[Intro]
A
[Verse 1]
A
You'd think after years of just giving it all
D
While playing your heart out and no curtain call
A
After large fame and fortune just passes on by
D Bm E7
You'd think any rounder would kiss it goodbye
A
But a few days at home and I'm back in the grind
D
Dead broke and ornery, half out of my mind
A
'Til a call comes in from some old slick I once knew
Bm A D Bm G E7
So I pack up my guitar and shine up my shoes
[Chorus]
D E7
On a lonesome old highway and a weary old road
A E7
My two-lane companion shoulders the load
A
Won't you take me right back where I come from before
D E7 E7
Weary old highway
Bm A D A A
Take me back, take me down home oncе more
[Instrumental Break]
D A G A D A D A E7 G A
[Verse 2]
A
It's not for the money whеn it's never quite there
D
Or packing it up in the cold midnight air
A
It's not for the glamour of living alone
Bm A Bm E7
In a thousand cheap hotels we get to call home
A
But it's call time at Sharkey's on a Saturday night
D
When the air is electric and the music is tight
A
It's choosing a pathway that's always been there
D Bm E7
With a good-tuned guitar, I've made it, I swear
[Chorus]
D E7
On a lonesome old highway and a weary old road
A E7
My two-lane companion shoulders the load
A
Won't you take me right back where I come from before
D E7 E7
Weary old highway
Bm A D A A
Take me back, take me down home oncе more
[Chorus]
D E7
On a lonesome old highway and a weary old road
A E7
My two-lane companion shoulders the load
A
Won't you take me right back where I come from before
D E7 E7
Weary old highway
Bm A D A A
Take me back, take me down home oncе more
[Outro]
A
Weary old highway (Highway)
A
Weary old highway (Highway)
A
Weary old highway
