Rod Clements - Whisky Highway
[Intro]
G C F C G
[Verse 1]
When I was a young boy I didn't understand
C
Why it took so long to grow to be a man
F C G
So, I stuck out my thumb, said I'm gonna get there my way
I never looked first, I never thought twice
C
And I never cared much about taking advice
F C G
Next thing I knew, I was heading down the Whisky Highway
[Verse 2]
Well, the Whisky Highway looks all right
C
You can start in the morning, you can run all night
F C G
But nobody tells you that it's gonna be a do-or-die way
You can say what you like, but you can't say 'no'
C
And any way you look, you got a long way to go
F C G
You can't turn back when you're heading down the Whisky Highway
[Chorus]
C F
Whisky Highway, never gonna get me home
C G
Just leave me alone on the Whisky Highway
[Instrumental]
G C F C G
G C F C G
[Verse 3]
You can tell a whisky man, but you can't tell him much
C
No uptown preacher gonna kick away his crutch, and he
F C G
Can't hide himself away down some dark byway
I'm too far gone and I can't stop now
C
I'm going nowhere, well, I don't know how
F C G
Just another poor fool headed down the Whisky Highway
[Chorus]
C F
Whisky Highway, never gonna get me home
C G
Just leave me alone on the Whisky Highway
[Chorus]
C F
Whisky Highway, never gonna get me home
C G
Just leave me alone on the Whisky Highway (just leave me alone)
[Chorus]
C F
Whisky Highway, never gonna get me home
C G
Just leave me alone on the Whisky Highway
[Chorus]
C F
Whisky Highway, never gonna get me home
C G F
Just leave me alone on the Whisky Highway
C G
Just leave me alone on the Whisky Highway
