I was born down in San Antone, daddy'd leave us all alone, 
     G                           A                   D 
Big rig rollin' thunder on the Dallas bound highway home. 
    
Well momma got a job and she worked real hard. 
         G                   
She had two of us kids in a trashed out car, yeah, 
    A                                          D 
But me and my brother seems to get along just fine. 
 
                         A                  G                  D 
Yeah, and you know the highway just like a river keeps rollin' on. 
              A                 G                 D 
You know it's my way and I was born to sing this song. 
 G       A    G        A              G     A                    D 
Have no fear, I ain't goin' nowhere. Everything's gonna be just fine. 
 
 D              
Well I turn on the tv on Sunday afternoon.  
        G            
This preacher was screamin', "Boy, you're gonna meet your doom 
 A                                                     D 
Goin' to all them honky tonks and drink that ice cold beer." 
          
But I've got me some friends and we're real tight. 
             G            
We stay up drinkin' and talkin' in the middle of the night. 
                A                                          D 
We talk about Jesus, man, I tell ya, He's one pretty cool dude. 
 
                         A                  G                  D 
Yeah, and you know the highway just like a river keeps rollin' on.

       D       
Well lately I've been toyin' with the notion, 
     G 
Of settin' my wheels in motion. 
      A                                       D 
Just put me on the highway to see what I can see. 
 
And then you come in cryin', you were bitchin' at me. 
                 G 
You said, "Your baby or the highway. What's it gonna be?" 
                A 
I said, "Well maybe you don't get it. It's a nature of the business, 
                       D 
I'm about to be movin' on." 
 
                         A                  G                  D

 G       A     G        A          G     A                    D 
Have no fear, drink another beer. Everything's gonna be just fine.
