[C]
[D] Friday night, been a guy's first out [F] of work
[Bb]
Talkin' bout [C] the week, scrubbin' on [F] the curb
Some hangin' on to the family, some are lookin' to get hurt
Some goin' down, [Abm] stole a worm, [C] trouble on the [F] shirt
How wild was the county, I don't know how he'd find
Although [Cm] the whole world flies, one [D] shot, it's a bad [F] news I
In my bed, I kept a picture of a pretty little miss
Someday, Mr.
[Bb] Rumble will lead a better life [F] than this
Workin' on the [G] highway, [C] layin' down the [F] blacktop
Workin' on the [G] highway, all that long I don't [F] stop
Workin' on the [G] highway, blastin' through the [F] bedrock
Workin' on the [G] highway, workin' on the [F] highway
I
[G] [C] [F]
[G] [C] met [F] her at a gas town at the Union Hall
[F] She [C] was standin' with her [Dm] brothers back up [F] against the wall
And as we go, walkin' down the Union Track
One day I looked [Gm] straight at her, [F] she looked straight back
Workin' on the highway, [G] layin' [C] down the [F] blacktop
Workin' on the [G] highway, all that [C] long I don't [F] stop
Workin' on the [G] highway, blastin' [C] through the [F] bedrock
Workin' on the [G] highway, [C] workin' on the [F] highway
[C] [F] [C] [G] [C]
[F] Saved [G] [C]
[Am] up my [C] money and I put it all [Am] away
I went to see her [C] daddy, but we didn't have much [Am] to say
The song ain't the same, [C] and she's just a little [F] girl
She don't know nothin' [G] about the school, school world
[C] We did a round around the [F] block and we [C] got along [F] alright
[C] One day my brothers came and got her and they took me in a [F] black and white
[C] Prosecutor took the [F] promise that he made on that day
[F] And [C] the judge got mad and he put me straight away
[F] [F] Now I drive every morning to the workin' bell climb
Me and my woman go a-swingin' on the Charlotte County Road
Workin' on the [G] highway, layin' down the [F] blacktop
Workin' on the [G] highway, all that long I [F] don't stop
Workin' on the [G] highway, blastin' through the [F] bedrock
Workin' on the [G] highway, workin' on the [F] highway
Layin' [G] down the [F] blacktop
Workin' on the [G] highway, all that long I [F] don't stop
Workin' on the [G] highway, blastin' through the [F] bedrock
Workin' on the [G] highway, workin' on the [F] highway
