Highway Forty Blues 
by Ricky Skaggs
 
G                        Am
Well these Highway Forty blues
D7                           G
I've walked holes in both my shoes
                                 Am
Counted the days since I've been gone
D7                                G
And I'd love to see the lights of home
 
                      C
Wasted time and money too
D7                            G
Squandered youth in search of truth
Em                      Am
But in the end I had to lose
                        D7
Lord above I've paid my dues
                      G
Got the Highway Forty blues 
 
                              Am
The highway called when I was young
D7                        G
Told me lies of things to come
                      Am
Fame and fortune lies ahead 
D7                                   G
That's what the billboard lights had said
 
                            C
Shattered dreams my mind is numb 
D7                           G
My money's gone stick out my thumb
Em                             Am
My eyes are filled with bitter tears 
                          D7
Lord I ain't been home in years
                      G
Got the Highway Forty blues
 
                          Am
You know I've rambled all around
D7                                G
Like a rolling stone from town to town 
                           Am
Met pretty girls I have to say 
D7                             G
But none of them could make me stay
 
                                     C
Well I've played the music halls and bars
D7                             G
Had fancy clothes and big fine cars 
Em                         Am
Things a country boy can't use 
                      D7
Dixieland I sure miss you
                      G
Got the Highway Forty blues
