Tom: G
G C D G
[Verse 1]
G C
California, don't have a strain for the pain I'm in
D G
Colorado, the Rockies ain't touchin' the clouds I'm in
C
I bet Hendrix, don't have a haze for the daze I'm in
Am
My eyes are red and it ain't cause I cried
C D
She left me hangin it ain't no surprise
[Chorus]
C D
So I took the highway,
G A Em
Cause you took the long road
C D G
Left me a burn that just won't fade
C D
Clearly you cloud my mind
G D Em
So I took a trip alone
C D
My truck's still in the driveway
G
But I took the highway
[Verse 2]
G C
Alabama, that's where you left me right where I stand
D G
Last that I heard, you're off with that banker in Birmingham
C
Hope you're happy, guess it turns out that you weren't just friends
Am
You got a diamond and I got a dime
C D
Bag of that stuff's got me up in the pines
[Chorus]
C D
Cause I took the highway,
G A Em
Cause you took the long road
C D G
Left me a burn that just won't fade
C D
Clearly you cloud my mind
G D Em
So I took a trip alone
C D
My truck's still in the driveway
G
But I took the highway
C D
My truck's still in the driveway,
G D G
But I took the highway
