Verse:
D                         Bm
  Well he's following the broken lines
          D
Living on borrowed time
      G                Bm                D
Motel rooms and broken hearts all left behind
                      Bm
You swear he couldn't close his eyes
                  D
As he shifts into overdrive
          G                Bm           D
He's been up and down this road so many times
               A
The man of his own
G                    Em
  And searching just keeps him moving
G              A
  And only the road
G              D            A
  Can tame the rebel in his soul

Chorus:
                       D
It's the rhythm of the highway
      Bm
As he rolls on down
    D                   G
And city lights as they fade from sight
Bm               D                A
Drives the man behind the driving wheels

Interlude: G D D G     

Verse:
D                       Bm
Well like a cowboy in a rodeo
                      D
Riding hard but never letting go
              G                     Bm              D
Well he'll be wandering through the twilight of his life
                       Bm
Waylon Jennings on the radio
                      D
Country music and the engines roar
       G              Bm             D
Like a shooting star across a desert sky
               A
And he's got a home
G                 Em
  It's out on the blue horizon
G             A
  Heaven only knows
G                 D            A
  There's still a rebel in his soul

Chorus:
                       D
It's the rhythm of the highway
      Bm
As he rolls on down
    D                   G
And city lights as they fade from sight
Bm               D                A       G
Drives the man behind the driving wheels
            D
And chasing southern lights
       Bm
In the distant sky
    D                    G
And open plains with the mountains high
Bm               D                A
Drives the man behind the driving wheels
G          Bm
Yeah, yeah-yeah

Verse:
D
  Well he's thought about settling down
                      Bm
a little diner on the edge of town
            G
But in this world of push and shove
                   D          A
He's still got freedom in his heart

Chorus:
                       D
It's the rhythm of the highway
       Bm
(As he rolls on by)
    D                    G
And city lights (as they fade from sight)
     Bm                        D                  A       G
Well I know we're travellin' behind those driving wheels
            D                       Bm
And chasing southern lights {in the distant sky)
        D
Through open plains (with the mountains high)
     Bm                        D                  A         G      D
Well I know we're travellin' behind those driving wheels  Yeah-eah-eah
