[Intro]

[Verse]

          D            A
Well, I'm back on that road again
G                D
Nothin' slows me down
G              D
I ain't seen a single smile
A                 D
Since I left your town
 
D A G D 
G D A D
 
[Verse]

          D         
All these people just 
     A
keep lookin' 'round
      G               D
Can't look em' in the eye
G             D
LA's like the movies
        A               D
And I'm still wonderin' why
 
[Chorus]

    G       D
I'm holdin' on
D                A
Lay my head down on the rail
G                D
Sing my way back home
 
D A G D
 
[Verse]

D              A
Road signs are hazy and
    G                D
The miles start to unwind
    G             D
But I ain't never lookin' back
               A            D
'Cause there's nothin' left behind
 
D A G D 
G D A D
 
[Verse]

   D              A
My fingertips are bleedin'
        G                 D
They're right down to the bone
G                 D
Can't believe I'm out again
       A             D
On the high lonesome road
 
[Chorus]

     G      D
I'm holdin' on
D                A
Lay my head down on the rail
G                D
Sing my way back home
 
D A G D
 
[Verse 5]
    D              A
The headlights are blindin' and
    G              D
The diesels are on fire
G                  D
Haulin' butt down a mountain pass
       A                D
To the California state line
 
D A G D 
G D A D
 
[Verse]

   D                A
If you could see my bleedin' feet
          G                  D
You might hang your head and cry
    G                D
But don't you shed a tear, 

my dear
        A           D
For I'm comin' home tonight
 
[Chorus]

    G       D
I'm holdin' on
D                A
Lay my head down on the rail
G                D
Sing my way back home
D                A
Lay my head down on the rail
G                D
Sing my way back home
