[Verse 1]
          C      F       C
I could hear the highway callin'
        F                   C
Long before the road ran through
             F                Am7
Dreams are free and not much else is
           G             C
What else can a poor boy do?
 
[Verse 2]
          C         F         C
Calais, France, the Cliffs of Dover
        F             C
Name a city, I been there
       F                Am7
Women laughin', babies cryin'
            G             C
Sounds the same most anywhere

          C     F         C
Baptized in the old South River
             F               C
Three times forward I been blessed
       F               Am7
Just another young hillbilly
                 G                       C
Who would have thought, who could have guessed?

It ain't braggin' if you've done it

Name the tune, I sang the song
 
[Verse 5]
            C        F      C
And now I'm old, no way to hide it
          F                C
Wouldn't care to truth be told
        F                Am7
Once a man and twice a child
            G             C
Well, I've got a hand to hold

What else can a poor boy do?
             F                Am7
