D      D/C#   D/B     D/A     G        G/F#   Em
I gave up the fast lane for a blacktop county road
D                              A
Just burned out all that talk about the mother lode
D        D/C#  D/B     D/A   G       G/F#     Em
I traded for a songbird and a bigger piece of sky
D                                A             D
When I miss the good old days, I can�t imagine why

Chorus:
            G                       D
Still I get restless and drive into town
  A                                            D 
I cruise once down Main Street and turn back around
               G                        D
It�s crazy but God knows I don�t act my age
                  A                       D  
Like an old desperado who paints the town beige

D  D/C#  D/B  D/A 

Down along the river and past the swimming hole
You can find your peace of mind with just a fishin� pole
And you can walk the river for miles and miles on end
And never stop believin� in that dream around the bend

Chorus

Deep down in the winter time slows to a crawl
There�s really nothin� much to do until the first spring thaw
It�s then I get to thinkin� I must have gone insane
Old memories roll through my mind like a long slow railroad train
