Verse 1:
 C
I grew where I was planted
   C
But I never felt at home
  F
My head was filled with questions
             C
And my feet they long to roam
  C
My arms reached out like branches
    C          Am
But my heart just couldn’t stay
 C
I left the moment that I could
 G        C   Am G  F
a prisoner of the highway

Verse 2:
 C
I passed by farms and trailers
  C
As I drove through little towns
 F
I found trouble in the city
            C
I never set my suitcase down
  C
And in those empty alleys
            Am
Where retaining walls decay
C
I just kept on moving
   G        C
as a prisoner of the highway

Chorus:
Am F   C
Ooh, and I don’t know where I’m headed
Am C   G
Ooh, and I don’t know where it ends

Verse 3:
     C
Well, the wind, it felt like freedom
  C
As it whipped through my hair
   F
I was everywhere and everyone
   F     C
I was nobody and nowhere
    C
Oh, the map was written on my hand
     Am
and in my DNA
   C
I believe that I was meant to be
 G        C   Am G F
a prisoner of the highway

Verse 4:
  C
Had chains around my ankles
C
Handcuffs on my wrists
   F
I was haunted by decisions
          C
And simple things I missed
   C
Dear God, why do I wander?
        Am
Was I born this way?
   C
And I prayed he would release me
   G        C
as a prisoner of the highway

Chorus:
Am F   C
Ooh, and I don’t know where I’m headed
Am C   G
Ooh, and I don’t know where it ends

Instrumental:
Am G  C
Am G  F

Verse 5:
 C
I sacrificed my family
C
Sacrificed true love
 F
I sacrificed my unborn child
          C
to the heavens up above
     C
Oh, there was not a limit
          Am
To those I would betray
C
I was deep down in it
   G        C
as a prisoner of the highway
F       C
I just kept a-moving
   G        F     C
as a prisoner of the highway
