F#m           D                    E
I've got the western stars to guide me
F#m    D                 E
Dixie sweet and low all night long
F#m                 D               E
I can hear those fiddles high above me
F#m           D              E
A woman smiles as I sing my song
F#m           D                          E
I've stood in line I've earned my keep
F#m                   D                 E
And I know she'll cry when I'm gone
F#m     D       E
A neon light calls me to sleep
F#m           D                    E              E
But I'm wide awake so I roll on

Chorus
A            E      F#m          D              
Travelin' man, ride as far as I can stand
A                E              F#m
My momma cries for the life I choose
A                E               F#m             D
And I need a beer, but it's too damn far away from here
A                      E        D                  D        
And I don't have time to sing the blues

I know I drink more than I should
But I can't slow down for my destiny
Lord knows I'd stop if I could
But the saints of old life their glass to me

Chorus
Travelin' man, ride as far as I can stand
My momma cries for the life I choose
And I need a beer, but it's too damn far away from here
And I don't have time to sing the blues

Chorus
Travelin' man, ride as far as I can stand
My momma cries for the life I choose
And I need a beer, but it's too damn far away from here
And I don't have time to sing the
