Biography:
Mary Chapin Carpenter (born February 21, 1958 in Princeton, New Jersey) is a highly successful country music singer-songwriter and guitarist. According to Songfacts, Carpenter had a fairly privileged upper middle class upbringing. Her father was at least partly responsible for her embarking on a musical career. The song "House of Cards" was inspired by the divorce of her parents when she was sixteen.
One of her most widely known singles is "Passionate Kisses" (written by fellow singer-songwriter Lucinda Williams)

A ROAD IS JUST A ROAD (Mary-Chapin Carpenter & John Jennings)
-------------------------------------------------------------
[Actually in A; capo 2.]
[Each chord is half a measure.]
G G D D G G C C G G D D G G G G
[intro]
G G D D
He pulled out in a cloud of dust
G G C C
Laying rubber and spewing rust
Em Em D D
And on any road he'd take
C G/B Am D
He'd have his foot on the pedal and my heart on the brake(break)
G G D D
Underneath the smooth tar curves
G G C C
A road is only dust and dirt
Em Em D D
On a lonely interchange
C Am D D
The signs all look the same
G G D D C C D D
'Cause a road is just a road and a feeling's just a feeling
G G D D C C D D
No matter where you go, from Waterloo to Wichita
G G D D C C Em/B Em/B
A road is just a road that the one you love is leaving on
C C Em/B Em/B D D G G G G
And midnight's another dawn, 100 miles ago [these two G's are only
played the first time.]
His wheels spun out of sight of me
Believing that I'd set him free
But I'd heard the voice of the prisoner
Saying he couldn't get enough of her
You go by land, you go by air
You go by sea, hell I don't care
You can go any way you choose
Wearing out the soles of your traveling shoes
And a road is just a road and a feeling's just a feeling
No matter where you go, from Bangor, Maine to Bakersfield
A road is just a road that the one you love is leaving on
And midnight's another dawn, a hundred miles ago
[Guitar solo: same chords as chorus.]
F F C C
And every sleepless night I see him
G G C C C C
Screaming by the scenery
F F C C
Not noticing another mile
G G C C C C D D D D
That's rolled down between him and me
'Cause a road is just a road and a feeling's just a feeling
No matter where you go, from Saskatoon to San Antone
A road is just a road that the one you love is leaving on
And midnight's another dawn, a hundred miles ago
Yes, a road is just a road and a feeling's just a feeling
No matter where you go, from San Bernardino to Sault Ste. Marie
A road is just a road that the one you love is leaving on
And midnight's another dawn, a hundred miles ago
