C I pulled into Jackson in the morning light, Saw the last of Jackson along about ten that night. F Had some chili, saw a show, C F When the deputy sheriff said, "Time to go", C G7 C Out of luck and out on another highway.
I ain't much to look at, but I can't help that.
A little too short, I drink too much and I'm getting fat.
Change it all if I had my way,
But you've got to play 'em the way they lay,
When you're out of luck, and out on another highway.
F G7 C Lord, Lord, wouldn't I love to throw these shoes away - F C G They won't let me stay no place for no time. F G7 C F Lord, Lord, wouldn't I love to never go again C G7 C Out of luck and out on another highway.
Wrote a picture postcard to a pal of mine,
Heading south to winter in the warm sunshine,
It wasn't no use to mail it, though -
He's gone where the chilly winds don't blow
Out of luck and out on another highway.
Lord, Lord, wouldn't I love to throw these shoes away -
They won't let me stay no place for no time.
Lord, Lord, wouldn't I love to never go again
Out of luck and out on another highway.
Lord, Lord, wouldn't I love to never go again
Out of luck and out on another highway.
(Words and music by Tom Paxton, 1975)
