Highway
bill's on the rotary still, and he can't even feel the pain
F#
G#m
C#7
Of a
sun dried shoulder and a scar from a boulder, that cut him right across his
vein
F# B E F#
Now's
he's sucking' cigar and he's shovelin' tar in the
crater of a turnpike terrain
F# B
He's
got only one hope and he wants to elope
E B F#
'Cause
Highway Jill is driving him insane
CHORUS
(2x)
E B F#
B
We gotta get on the road, Destiny Unbound
E B C#7 F#
She's
the one for me, we gotta get
out of town
Highway
Jill was a daffodil, with a cactus sense of pride
At the
wheel of a tractor she was quite an impactor, when
the road rocks started to slide
She saw
Bill drop his shovel on a pile of gravel, as he climbed up out of his ditch
She was
wonderstruck when he climbed in her truck
He
said, "I've been having this everlasting itch"
CHORUS:
(2x)
E B F#
B
We gotta get on the road, Destiny Unbound
E B C#7 F#
You’re
the one for me, we gotta get
out of town

BRIDGE:
E B
At
first she was cold, she was ready to scold
F# B
This
guy from the pit with a thing in his head
E
B
But
then she thought twice, when he melted her ice
C#7 B
With
his passionate eyes, she was energized
F#
B
She
started the ignition, and without permission
C#7
F#
The two
of them flew down the dusty road
F#
B
But the
road wasn't finished, and the pavement diminished
E
B F#
They
flew off the edge, and plunged in the sludge
CHORUS
(4x)
E B F# B
She
said there isn’t even any road, our destiny was bound
E B C#7 F#
We were
the ones for us, now we’re in the ground
