I was born down in San Antone, daddy'd leave us all alone,
G A D
Big rig rollin' thunder on the Dallas bound highway home.
Well momma got a job and she worked real hard.
G
She had two of us kids in a trashed out car, yeah,
A D
But me and my brother seems to get along just fine.
A G D
Yeah, and you know the highway just like a river keeps rollin' on.
A G D
You know it's my way and I was born to sing this song.
G A G A G A D
Have no fear, I ain't goin' nowhere. Everything's gonna be just fine.
D
Well I turn on the tv on Sunday afternoon.
G
This preacher was screamin', "Boy, you're gonna meet your doom
A D
Goin' to all them honky tonks and drink that ice cold beer."
But I've got me some friends and we're real tight.
G
We stay up drinkin' and talkin' in the middle of the night.
A D
We talk about Jesus, man, I tell ya, He's one pretty cool dude.
A G D
Yeah, and you know the highway just like a river keeps rollin' on.
A G D
You know it's my way and I was born to sing this song.

Well lately I've been toyin' with the notion,
G
Of settin' my wheels in motion.
A D
Just put me on the highway to see what I can see.
And then you come in cryin', you were b**chin' at me.
G
You said, "Your baby or the highway. What's it gonna be?"
A
I said, "Well maybe you don't get it. It's a nature of the business,
D
I'm about to be movin' on."
A G D
Yeah, and you know the highway just like a river keeps rollin' on.
A G D
You know it's my way and I was born to sing this song.

Have no fear, drink another beer. Everything's gonna be just fine.
