Verse 1:
G     C       G
Looking at life through a windshield
      C            G
They say, "Oh, the places you must see"
     C
But it's been an all-nighter
    G
And the sun's getting brighter
   A             D
Gotta make it to the load-in by three
     G      C      G
We see a whole lot of gas station bathrooms
   C         G
And a whole lot of hotel pools
    C
Putting miles on our boots
     G   Em
We ain't got no roots
       A       D    G
We're just a bunch of honky tonkin' fools

Chorus:
G             C     G
Hey, but that's life in a traveling band
    C       G
And it made me who I am
C
Home's where my hat is
G
Anywhere that is
A          D
All over this great land
     C
I've seen miles and miles of highways
      G             E
Still, I gotta chase it while I still can
       G
But that's my life
A      D     G
Playing in a traveling band


Verse 2:
G           C     G
I could use a night's rest in my own bed
     C        G
But I'm a thousand miles away
   C         G
And I miss my dog and I miss my woman
  A7       D
But we got shows to play
    G       C     G
And I'm wishing I was fishing on Cherokee Lake
    C              G
Jigging spoons off the Church House point
     C
But we're somewhere in the desert
   G     Em
Doing 80 on the highway
A      D     G
Headed for a honky tonk joint


Chorus:
G             C     G
Hey, but that's life in a traveling band
    C       G
And it made me who I am
C
Home's where my hat is
G
Anywhere that is
A          D
All over this great land
     C
I've seen miles and miles of highways
      G             E
Still, I gotta chase it while I still can
       G
But that's my life
A      D     G
Playing in a traveling band


Verse 3:
G
Well, the tour's winding down in a few days
   C         G
Going home for to see my kin
C             G
Try to get caught up on my shut eye
   A          D
And improve the shape I'm in
      G      C     G
Well, this stop and go life ain't easy
      C             G
Well, it's hard on your mind and your health
  C               G    Em
But playing country music's how I make my livin'
    A         D     G
And the bills ain't gonna pay their self


Chorus:
G             C     G
Hey, but that's life in a traveling band
    C       G
And it made me who I am
C
Home's where my hat is
G
Anywhere that is
A          D
All over this great land
     C
I've seen miles and miles of highways
      G             E
Still, I gotta chase it while I still can
       G
But that's my life
A      D     G
Playing in a traveling band


Outro:
C          G
Well, but that's my life
A      D     G
Playing in a traveling band

Ah, but that's my life
A      D     G
Playing in a traveling band
