As recorded by Jason Aldean
(From the 2023 Album HIGHWAY DESPERADO)
 
 
Capo 4th fret
 
 
[Intro]
Em    Cmaj7  D
 
 
[Verse 1]
D                 Em
I chased a lot of sunsets
                Cmaj7                           D
I seen a desert sky like it's on fire out in Arizona
         C                D          Em
I struck gold when I rode out to California
Em
Rocky Mountain high
Cmaj7
Out lookin' for a new horizon
D                            C
Midnight ridin' wherever the wind blows
 
 
[Chorus]
       D            Em
Like a highway desperado
                   C                        D
These boots, these days still ain't slowin' down
D
Hit the ground runnin' down
C
Every town to town, wherever the wheels go
Em                Cmaj7
Can't stop, can't change
             D
Every cowboy knows
                                    G
You can't hang your hat in just one place
              C            Em   Cmaj7  D  C
When you're a highway desperado
 
 
[Verse 2]
D                  Em
Well, if you wanna find me (I'll be out west)
        C
I'll be turnin' up a good time
         D
With bad company
        C
I got a shotgun angel
D                   Em
Ready to ride right next to me
                        Cmaj7
Wide open road (Ride or die)
Cmaj7
The Carolina coast
      D                         C
Maybe San Antonio, wherever the wind blows
 
 
[Chorus]
       D            Em
Like a highway desperado
                   C                        D
These boots, these days still ain't slowin' down
D
Hit the ground runnin' down
C
Every town to town, wherever the wheels go
Em                Cmaj7
Can't stop, can't change
             D
Every cowboy knows
                                    G
You can't hang your hat in just one place
              C            Em   Cmaj7
When you're a highway desperado

[Bridge]
Em                                     C

Em                              C
The Carolina coast, maybe San Antonio
C
Wherever the wind blows
         N.C.
Wherever the wind blows
 
 
[Chorus]
                   C                        D
These boots, these days still ain't slowin' down

Hit the ground runnin' down
