Chords
[Intro]
G
[Verse 1]
G I saw the same old streets for far too long
I put the rubber on the road
I left it all behind
And now paid with memories
Those streets are long since gone
Rubber on the road and the blood inside
[Pre-Chorus]
D And I've been around this land ofC opporGtunity
D The road is hard and it don't ofCfer up imGmunity
D I've rode this country hard, from Csea to shining Gsea
C I've shared a dance with Lady LiDberty
[Verse 2]
G I broke down despite my prayers
Full tilt and half the way
The rubber on the road and the blood inside
But I ain't got far to go
I'll leave 'er where she lay
Keep the rubber on the road and the blood inside
[Pre-Chorus]
D Сause wealth of matter has Cnever made muchG sense to me
D And It's bought a lot of souls and Cnever has it Gset one free
D I shed a couple tears and Cnever did I Ggrieve
C I walked away and left theD keys
[Chorus]
G And I'll Dketch me the Cmidnight Gghost
G We'll Droll down that CWestern DCoast
G Fields of Dgreen
CValleys of Gwine
C St. Theresa, don't you worDry
We'll make it on time G
[Verse 3]
G We're there before we know
Just watch this Grey Ghost go
Steel on the tracks and the hammer down
Things used to move so slow
These days it's roll man roll
Steel on the tracks and the hammer down
[Pre-Chorus]
D And it's bound to take it's toll
Out Crunnin' wild andG livin' free
D And I've done some growing up
But I Cnever lost theG child in me
D We're tossin' dice at things
That Cmight not ever Gbe
C All just to see what I canD see
[Chorus]
G And I'll Dketch me the Cmidnight Gghost
G We'll Droll down that CWestern DCoast
G Fields of Dgreen
CValleys of Gwine
C St. Theresa, don't you worDry
We'll make it on time G D

[Verse 4]
G Well I know that it can't last
Someday this ride will stall
Rubber on the road and the blood inside
'Cause even mighty mountains
Someday might crumble and fall
Keep the rubber on the road and the blood inside
[Pre-Chorus]
DFinding out the hard way
Don't leave schoolC with much vaGlidity
D And livin' hand to mouth
Don't leave Croom for much noGbility
D We know the end is near
But Cnot when it will Gbe
C Or is it close enough toD see
[Chorus]
G And I'll Dketch me the Cmidnight Gghost
G We'll Droll down that CWestern DCoast
G Fields of Dgreen
CCarmel Gwine
St.C Theresa, don't you worDry
[Outro]
C St. Theresa, don't you worDry
C St. Theresa, don't you worDry
We'll make it on time
