D bm d bm
The kid's left home, the kid's got a kid of her own
D bm d bm
Don't knock that door, don't knock it, nobody's home
Em bm em bm
The mystery sign, turn off and follow it blind
Em d gd
The interstate is jammed and crammed with exhaust mist
Em d g
It only leads to somewhere you'll never miss
A
You'll never miss

D bm d bm
Get on the blue highways, follow the blue highways
Em bm em bm
You know that they're there, you know that they're there
F#m g a d bm dbm Where the real america lies
D bm d bm
The rusty chrome, the shutters swing open and closed
D bm d bm
Don't knock that door, don't knock it, nobody's home
Embm em bm
The blood runs cold, the blood runs cold
Em d
There must be gold where fools are
G a
That's what we are, that's what we are

D bm d bm
Get on the blue highways, follow the blue highways
Embm em bm
You know that they're there, you know that they're there
F#m g a bm
Where the real america lies
Em bm em bm em d bm d bm
Blue highways, blue highways, blue highways
