Rick Roberts Glad To Be Going written by Rick Roberts
A Bm
Now I could tell you stories
A
About how much I hate to go
Bm
And I could swear I'm sorry
A
But I just can't believe no
F#m E
Well if we were more than strangers
D D/C# Bm B7
You'd have seen it long ago
A D
So I'm glad to be going
A D
It's time for me to hit the road again
A D
I'm glad to be going
G Bm A
Maybe I can write you now and then
Bm
Don't don't try to tell me
A
We need to give it one more try
Bm
How can you hope to sell me
A
When you can not look me in the eyes
F#m E
You say you don't know why I'm leaving
D D/C# Bm B7
That is half the reason why
A D
So I'm glad to be going
A D
It's time for me to hit the road again
A D
I'm glad to be going
G Bm A
Maybe you can write you now and then
SOLO
A Bm
You say it was not you
A
You say it's me who closed my heart
Bm
I say that just might be true
A
But then you just might be whistling in the dark
F#m E
And it really does not matter
D D/C# Bm B7
Right or wrong we're still apart
A D
So I'm glad to be going
A D
It's time for me to hit the road again
A D
I'm glad to be going
G Bm A
Maybe I can write you now and then
