[1] Traveling [^b7] down the [4] blue road
[1] Wonderin' hardly [5] waitin' just to [4] get back home a-[5]-gain
Winds are [1] blowin' [^b7] down the [4] blue road
Too long a [1] loser [5] soon he's gonna [1] win

[1] He's worked in wood worked in [^b7] steel [4] call them what [1] you will
Years can never out-[^b7]-number the [4] miles on his [5] shoes
Been a [1] lover and a [^b7] fighter [4] gambler and moon-[1]-shiner
Call him well ac-[5]-quainted with the [1] blues

Speak of oil fields cottonfields bright lights and city nights
Think about most any place he may have lived or died
There but now there's a lady who can turn back the miles
Gentle as a summer morning air
