          A                        C
Well I've said it before, and I'll say it again
        G                    A
You get nothin' for nothin', expect it when
       F                          G
You're back seat drivin' and your hands ain't on  
    A
the wheel
     A          C
It's easy to go along with the crowd
    G                       A
And find later on that your say ain't allowed
   F                 G                     A
Oh that's the way to find what you've been missin'

[chorus]:
A      D       A          A
So I'm heading out to the highway
      D          A       E
I got nothin' to lose at all
    D        A     A
I'm goin' to do it my way
       D      A        E
Take a chance before I fall
D        A        A   C A 
A chance before I fall

[intro riff](1x)

You can hang in a left or hang in a right
The choice it is yours to do as you might
The road is open wide to place your biddin'
Now, wherever you turn, wherever you go
If you get it wrong, at least you can know
There's miles and miles to put it back together

[chorus]

On the highway...
On the highway...

[lead break]
Makin' a curve or takin' the strain
On the decline, or out on the wain
Oh everybody breaks down sooner or later
We'll put it to rights, we'll square up and mend
Back on your feet to take the next bend
You weather every storm that's comin' at cha

And I'm heading out to the highway
I got nothin' to lose at all
I got nothin' to lose at all...
