They got a (D)road out in Alaska now, I (A)hear that you can go there

I know your (D)honeys got the money, I can (A)understand your wanderlust
Brother and boy, for me these days, it's (G)refriger-(A/E)ator or (D)bust
I ain't (D)got no words for going, I got no (A)longing for your open road
Don't get found rollin' into town (G)tugging' on a (A/E)heavy load (D)
You've gotta give me the nights with the city lights, and the (A)people buzzin' everywhere
One hand upon the parking meter, the (G)other on her (A/E)easy (D)chair

I'll send her (G)roses, send her roses every-(D)day
If I don't go down another dirt road, I don't think it's gonna hurt my (A)day

Got to singin' low for the first three rows, (G)puttin' on a (A/E)lousy show (D)
