D                                      A
So the highway is where i believe i belong
                                            D
Losing myself in the soul of a song
                                                              A
And the fight for the right to be righteously wrong
                                           D
It's a story that's sad but it's true

D
So i sing my own songs
And i drink when i'm thirsty
       A
And i will go on
Making music, and whiskey,
       D
And love for as long
As the spirit inside me
A                                           D
Says you don't tell me what to do

G                                   D
Gone are the reasons for changing my mind
A                                  D
Gone like the future that i left behind
G
If you want to i warn you
           D
You're wasting your time
A                                  D
You don't tell me what to do
