             G         A                D 
I'm there to greet you when your life begins 
                  G       A                 D  
You'll start your journey on your knees and hands 
  G          A           D      D/C#    Bm   
I offer many choices an' places you can go 
                Em      A                  D 
'Cause you must choose 'cause I'm just the road 
I'm paved with mem'ries, glory and regrets 
I'm lined with broken dreams and cigarettes 
You can take all you can hold but if you stumble b'neath your load 
Don't blame me; I'm just the road 
Chorus: 
      A                               G               D   
I'm a million miles before you, I'm a million miles behind 
     A                                  G               D 
I'll take you straight and narrow, I'll ramble and I'll wind 
   A               Bb           B                 E7  
So curse my broken brimstone or kiss my bricks of gold 
            Em      A            D     G   D 
I'm not the reason, I'm just the road 
Road to riches, the path of righteousness 
Through busy cities, or through a mountain mess 
I'll take you through the high way or snake you through the low 
But it's your call, I'm just the road 
Chorus 
Solo 
Your last breath is not the death of me 
I'll take you on to where your ticket reads 
To that place where I hope shinin' angels greet your soul 
If they don't, I'm just the road 
Chorus 
Chorus 
So don't you thank me, don't you blame me 
When you're at that judgment throne 
'Cause I'm not the reason, I'm just the road
