Biography:
Dallas-based American singer-songwriter Max Stalling never expected to be a full-time country and western musician. After earning his college degree from Texas A&M in food science, he worked for Rainbo Bread and Frito Lay. But following the critically lauded and audience-proven successes of his first three CDs, Comfort In The Curves in 1997, Wide Afternoon in 2000, and One Of The Ways in 2002, he traded his lab coat for cowboy boots and has been touring ever since - performing at more than 150 honky tonks and smoky dancehalls each year.

[Intro]
D A G A D
[Verse 1]
G A D
Here I am back on the road again
G A D
Don't it feel just like my old worst friend
G A D
The ne'er do well that a mother prays against
G A D
Jack Kerouac meets Huckleberry Finn
[Verse 2]
G A D
Yes I know the ways of this old friend of mine
G A D
He's got some good intentions misinterpreted every time
G A D
Said "the road is long and winding" but what he really meant
G A D
Was the comfort you are seeking will not meet you at the end
[Chorus 1]
G D
Gets me going like a fiddle tune
G D
Don't even know what my feet are doing
G A D
Hey, don't fiddlers earn their pay, OK
G D
Green lights all the way to nowhere
G D
Half the fun is in the getting there
G A D
And once you figure that out you're on your way
[Verse 3]
G A D
Oh, it's hot out on the road today
G A D
No cover, no cloud, no chance for escape
G A D
Except that 18 wheeler on the straight-away
G A D
So I pull up, match his speed and steal some shade
[Chorus 2]
G D
Guess I got me the Gypsy virus
G D
No cure for the ramblin-itis
G A D
Except some asphalt and some days, fine days
G D
Green lights all the way to nowhere
G D
Half the fun is just in getting there
G A D
And once you figure that out you're on your way
[Solo]
G A D G G A D
[Verse 4]
G A D
The road can give you fortunes that are yours to use or keep
G A D
Or it can take your very life if it lulls you off to sleep
G A D
But so can any style of life or friend that you might choose
G A D
So being dead and friendless, man that's the only way to lose
[Chorus 3]
G D
Tomorrow shines like a gold doubloon
G D
You could have it if you wanted to
G A D
You just have to hold your mouth the right way, that's the way
G D
Green lights all the way to nowhere
G D
All the fun is just the getting there
G A D
And once you figure that out you're on your way
[Outro]
G A G A G A D G A D
Well I'd best be on, Well I think I'm on, I'm finally on my way
