Intro: 

Em  D  G 
Em  D  G 
Em  D  G  D 


verse 1: 

C            G 
Barbed wire fence carvinâ?? out a hillside 
C             G 
Cuttinâ?? holes in the midday sun 
Em           G      
Like a post-card framed in a windshield  
D 
Covered in dust 
C                 G 
I love the rhythm of an old grey blacktop 
C     G 
33's just whistlin' by 
Em                G 
Steer the wheel, one handed on a two lane 
D 
Hugginâ?? that line 
             C     G 
I got the windows down 
Em            D 
No one else around, singin' 




 C     G 
Ooh - ooh 
Em                         D 
Freedom is the miles I'm rollin' on 
 C     G 
Ooh - ooh 
Em                        D 
Out here cruising to a backroad song 
C                  G 
I feel the wheels like a melody 
Em             D 
Like a radio dialinâ?? in strong 
C         G 
C'mon, c'mon sing along 
Em                  D 
Sing along to my backroad song 
G   Em   C   G 
Ooh 
G   Em   D 
Ooh 



verse 2: 

C                 G 
I hit the brakes for an old New Holland 
C          G 
Hammer down and pass him on up 
Em                G 
The breeze smells like a summertime hay field's  
D 
Just been cut 
             C     G 
I got the windows down 
Em          D 
Way out of town, singinâ?? 


Repeat Chorus 


Ooh 

Bridge: 

C                                  Em 
The only way today could get better 
D                     G                       
Girl what I'm thinkin' 
          C                                  Em 
Is I can pick you up, you slide in this truck 
D 
And I can hear you singinâ?? 


Tag: 

C  G  Em 
Ooh

Let me hear you sing it 
C  G  Em  D

C  G 
Ooh 
Em                           D 
Freedom is the miles we're rollin' on 
C  G 
Ooh 
Em                        D 
Out here cruisinâ?? to a backroad song 
C                          G 
I feel the wheels like a melody 
Em             D 
Like a radio dialinâ?? in strong 
C            G 
C'mon, c'mon sing along 
   Em               D 
Sing along to my backroad song

to no avail sometimes:)
