E D A
[Verse 1]
A
See the stretching sun at dawning
D
Wipe the stardust from his eyes
A
Feel the morning breezes yawning
E
Telling me it's time to rise
C#m Bm7 A
Telling me it's time to rise
[Chorus]

I was born to take the highway
A
I was born to chase a dream
A
Any road at all is my way
A
Any place is where I've been

Anything is what I've seen
C#m Bm7 A D A
Anything is what I've seen

Gambler's gold is made for squandering

Miser's silver is to hoard
A
My gold as the sky goes wandering
E
My silver is the drinking gourd
C#m Bm7 A
My silver is the drinking gourd
[Chorus]
[Verse 3]
A
I've skipped on concrete
A
Danced on cobbles
D
Stepped on pavement in the heat
A
I've seen where children crouched at marbles
A
Made chalk circles in the street
C#m Bm A
Found a penny at my feet
[Chorus]
[Verse 4]
A
Now I know a road that winds forever
D
Through the land the rainbows run
A
You cross the bridge from now till never

Take the first turn past the sun

Take the first turn beyond the sun

I was born to take the highway

I was born to chase a dream

Any road at all is my way
A
Any place is where I've been
