Biography:
Turnpike Troubadours is an American country music group from Oklahoma founded in 2005.
The band, whose name is derived from the bumpy Oklahoma toll-roads and their hard lived folk singing heroes, are proof that isolation can be the mother of originality. Cutting their teeth in roadside dance halls and honky-tonks has made a serious impact on the band’s musical style, which walks the line between Woody Guthrie and Waylon Jennings. “Bossier City,” the band’s debut album, is testament to the small towns in which they were raised.

C D G D/F# Em
C D G
[Verse]
C D
There ain't a thing in the world to take me back
G D/F# Em
Like a dark-haired girl in a Cadillac
C D G
On main street of an old forgotten town
C D
The sun light shines in fine white lines
G D/F# Em C
On weathered stores with open signs
D G
They may as well just close 'em down.
[Chorus]
C G D G
And you look like 1968 or was it '69
C G
When I heard you caught a bullet
D
Well I guess you're doing fine
C G
And you speak of revolution
D G
Like it's some place that you've been
C G
Well you've been a long time gone
D
Good too see you my old friend.
[BREAK]
C D G D/F# Em
[Verse]
C D
Oh now that sign is gone away
G D/F# Em
Replaced instead by silver age
C D G
and moonlight falling on the avenue
C D
Oh and I could sleep if you would drive
G D/F# Em
I just can't keep my mind alive
C D G
And you've got nothing better else to do
[Chorus 2]
C G
And we've all been looking for you
D G
Like a hobo you walk in
C G
Well how the mighty all have fallen
D
How the holy all have sinned
C G
Is that the clattering of sabers
D G
Or the cool September winds
C G
Well you've been a long time gone
D
Good to see you my old friend.
[BREAK]
C D G D/F# Em
[Verse]
C D
And there's just two times a day like this
G D/F# Em
You find this kind of blissfulness
C D G
The sun it sets and rises in the morn
C D
And we're shakin hands, I rub my eyes
G D/F# Em
Free up all my alibis
C D G
Just a blinking like the day I was born
[Chorus]
C G D G
And you look like 1968 or was it '69
C G
When I heard you caught a bullet
D
Well I guess you're doing fine
C G
And you speak of revolution
D G
Like it's some place that you've been
C G
Well you've been a long time gone
D
Good too see you my old friend.
[Outro]
C G D G
And when the rounds were fired that April you were on the balcony
C G D
When ten thousand tear drops hit the ground in Memphis, Tennessee
C G D G
You were a prideful rebel yell among a million marching men.
C G
And you've been a long time gone
D G
Good to see you my old friend
C G
Well you've been a long time gone
D G
Good to see you my old friend.
