BLACKTOP BLUES By Whiskey Joe Leadfoot

C Ami C
Thumbing down this stretch of road aint nothing like Id like to recommend,
Ami C
Its colder in the wintertime and lonelier than any place you've been,
F C Ami
I must have walked ten miles today, but all Ive seen is snow,
C G C
My bodys getting colder than this aching in my soul....
Ami C
In my soul, in my soul...in my soul.....

Ami C
Well I dont believe in staying, any longer than it take to move along,
Ami C
Theres something in my blood that keeps me moving like a wind thats blowing strong,
F C Ami
The only ties that bind me are the things that set me free,
C G C
My roots are any place this blacktop highways taking me.....
Ami C
Taking me, taking me....taking me.....


C Ami C
The next town up the road aint any closer than the one Ive left behind,
Ami C
But that sky keeps getting meaner, and that wind is trying to blow right through my mind,
F C Ami
The heat inside a diesel cab right now would do me right,
C G C
But far as I can see theres not a moving thing in sight......
Ami C
Hmm, hmm, hmm.....

Ami C
Well if I had any sense I wouldnt be out on this frozen road at all,
Ami C
My shoes are like an icebox, and this coat Ive got could use an overhaul,
F C Ami
This walking through a blizzard twenty miles may not be kicks,
C G C
But its nothing that a coffee and a pretty smile wont fix.

Hmm, hmm, hmm, hmm, hmmm, hmm.....
C G Ami
Its nothing that a coffee and a pretty smile wont fix......
