DOWN THE ROAD

Words and music by Lachlan Irvine


[C]///

When the [C] first rays of the sun touch the eastern shore,
Down the road I go.
[C] Heading for a place where I've never been before, down the road I go.
Down the [F] road, I see an open door,
Down the [C] road, no telling what's in store,
Down the [F] road, there'll be no encore, down the [G] road. [Gsus4][G][C]///

When the [C] moon sits high looking down on the western plain,
Down the road I go.
In the [C] blazing midday sun and in the pouring rain, down the road I go.
Down the [F] road, like an old steam train,
Down the [C] road, pushing through the pain,
Down the [F] road, I won't be back again, down the [G] road. [Gsus4][G] [C]///

From the [C] darkness of the night to the light of day, down the road I go.
I've got my [C] loved ones in my heart every step of the way, down the road I go.
Down the [F] road, this ain't no holiday,
Down the [C] road, got some dues to pay,
Down the [F] road, It's gonna be okay, down the [G] road. [Gsus4][G] [C]///

Like the [C] pioneers always looking out for pastures new, down the road I go.
It's [C] one more rite of passage that I've got to go through, down the road I go.
Down the [F] road, there's no room for two,
Down the [C] road, tell my friends adieu,
Down the [F] road, I'll be missing you, down the [G] road. [Gsus4][G] [C]///

Like a [C] river finds its way down to the sea, down the road I go.
I'm gonna [C] turn this dream into a reality, down the road I go.
Down the [F] road, I'll be breaking free,
Down the [C] road, what a sight to see,
Down the [F] road, what will be will be, down the [G] road. [Gsus4][G] [C]///

Down the [C] road / Down the road / Down the road / Down the road / [C]
