[Bb] Won't you stretch my itch, [Eb] sweet Annie [Bb] Ridge, and welcome [F] me back to [Bb]
town.
Come out on your porch, [Eb] or step [Bb] into your parlor, [C] and I'll tell you how it all [F] went down.
[Bb] Out with the truckers and the kickers and the cowboy [Eb] angels, [Bb] and a good salute in every single [Eb] town.
Oh, and I remembered [F] something you once [Bb] told me, [Eb] and I'd be damned [F] if it did not come [Bb] true.
[Eb] Twenty thousand [F] roads I [Bb] went [Am] down, [Gm] down, down, [Eb] and they all led [F] me straight back [Bb] home to you.
[Gm] Was a-headin' west to [Eb] grow [F] up with the [Bb] country,
[Gm] across those prairies [F] with those waves [Bb] of [F] [Cm] grain.
[Bb] And I [Dm] saw my devil, and [Eb] I saw [F] my deep blue [Bb] sea, [Eb] and it brought about a calico [F] bonnet [Eb] from Cheyenne [F] to [Bb] Tennessee.
We flew straight [Eb] across that river [Bb]
bridge last [F] night at [Bb] past two.
Switchman wave just landed [Eb] right by [Bb] me, as [C] we went [F] rollin' through.
[Bb] Billboards and truck stops passed by the [Eb] grievous angel,
[Bb] now I know [F] just what I [Bb] have to do.

The news I could bring, I [Eb] met up with [Bb] a king on his [F] head and it fed [Bb] me cram.
Talked about unbucklin' [Cm] that old [Bb] Bible building, [C] light it out for some [F] desert town.
[Bb] I'll visit truckers and the kickers and the cowboy [Eb]
angels, [Bb] and a good saloon in every [Eb] single town.
