[Verse]
             Em
I know this road like the back of my hand
               C                  Em
Same with the stations, on the FM band
            C                    Em
Farms and truck stops, firework stands
             Bm                       Em
I know this road like the back of my hand
 
 
          Em
Southern secrets still buried deep
               C                             Em
Brooding and restless 'neath the cracked concrete
              C                     Em
If you were from here, you would defend me
                           Bm               Em
To the death along with the ghosts of highway 20
 
 
                Em
I went through hell when I was younger
              C                  Em
Deep in the well you'll see the hunger
              C               Em
To find the strength I got within me
                    Bm               Em
To wrestle with the ghosts of highway 20
 
            Em
Been sixty years, I don't want for nothing
         C                  Em
But my tears, they keep on coming
         C                Em
And my fears continue to haunt me
                Bm               Em
Along with the ghosts on highway 20
 
 
[Chorus]
              C                       Em
I know this road like the back of my hand
                C                  Em
Same with the stations, on the FM band
            Em
Farms and truck stops, and firework stands
             Bm                       Em
I know this road like the back of my hand
 
 
[Verse]
         Em
Who I am now to who I was then
            C                  Em
I knew somehow I'd come back again
            C                  Em
No doubt about it, I'm next of kin
                Bm                  Em
To all all the ghosts along highway 20
 
          Em
Run down motels, the fading billboards
                C              Em
Used cars for sale, the rusty junkyards
                C                 Em
This two lane blacktop will never let me
               Bm                  Em
Let go of the ghosts along highway 20
 
            Em
And I have seen the signs that say
               C               Em
We're closing in on the final days
            C           Em
But I got nothing to repent
                             Bm               Em
My saving grace is with the ghosts on highway 20
 
 
[Chorus]
             C                       Em
I know this road like the back of my hand
                C                  Em
Same with the stations, on the FM band
           Em
Farms and truck stops, and firework stands
                   Bm                       Em
Yeah, I know this road like the back of my hand
 
 
[Verse]
       Em
Every question and every breath
      C                    Em
Every exit leaves a little death
         C        Em
In its wake a memory
                           Bm               Em
That will wander with the ghosts of highway 20
 
 
[Outro]
            Em
And I have seen the signs that say
               C            Em
We're closing in the final days
            C               Em
But I got nothing left to repent
                             Bm               Em
My saving grace is with the ghosts on highway 20
                                   Bm               Em
Yeah, my saving grace is with the ghosts on highway 20
                                   Bm               Em  Em
Yeah, my saving grace is with the ghosts on highway 20
