A ROAD IS JUST A ROAD (Mary-Chapin Carpenter & John Jennings)
-------------------------------------------------------------

[Actually in A; capo 2.]
[Each chord is half a measure.]

G G D D G G C C G G D D G G G G
[intro]

G G D D
He pulled out in a cloud of dust
G G C C
Laying rubber and spewing rust
Em Em D D
And on any road he`d take
C G/B Am D
He`d have his foot on the pedal and my heart on the brake(break)

G G D D
Underneath the smooth tar curves
G G C C
A road is only dust and dirt
Em Em D D
On a lonely interchange
C Am D D
The signs all look the same

G G D D C C D D
`Cause a road is just a road and a feeling`s just a feeling
G G D D C C D D
No matter where you go, from Waterloo to Wichita
G G D D C C Em/B Em/B
A road is just a road that the one you love is leaving on
C C Em/B Em/B D D G G G G
And midnight`s another dawn, 100 miles ago [these two G`s are only
played the first time.]

His wheels spun out of sight of me
Believing that I`d set him free
But I`d heard the voice of the prisoner
Saying he couldn`t get enough of her

You go by land, you go by air
You go by sea, hell I don`t care
You can go any way you choose
Wearing out the soles of your traveling shoes

And a road is just a road and a feeling`s just a feeling
No matter where you go, from Bangor, Maine to Bakersfield
A road is just a road that the one you love is leaving on
And midnight`s another dawn, a hundred miles ago

[Guitar solo: same chords as chorus.]

F F C C
And every sleepless night I see him
G G C C C C
Screaming by the scenery
F F C C
Not noticing another mile
G G C C C C D D D D
That`s rolled down between him and me

`Cause a road is just a road and a feeling`s just a feeling
No matter where you go, from Saskatoon to San Antone
A road is just a road that the one you love is leaving on
And midnight`s another dawn, a hundred miles ago

Yes, a road is just a road and a feeling`s just a feeling
No matter where you go, from San Bernardino to Sault Ste. Marie
A road is just a road that the one you love is leaving on
And midnight`s another dawn, a hundred miles ago
