On the road again, off of Highway 10

In a cabin on a rural route

I'm gonna figure out the hard way
Em    C   G    D    G
How fast I can wear my welcome out

Could have stayed

Out at Diamond Head

I was almost there
G   D       C
Silver medal for the loser
G   D       C
Silver medal for the loser

How fast I can wear my welcome out

Verse:
G      Em
Now I'm headed out
G
With the same unrest
       Em
Tried to tear it down
C     G
But it was unimpressed
       C
Used to feel like home
G   D       C
It was rolling in the clover now
G   D       C
Twenty seven warmed over now
G   D       C
Twenty seven warmed over

Chorus:
    D
On the road again, off of Highway 10
   G        D
In a cabin on a rural route

I'm gonna figure out the hard way
Em    C   G    D    G
How fast I can wear my welcome out

Outro:

I'm gonna figure out the hard way
Em    C   G    D    G
How fast I can wear my welcome out
