Gm7 C7 Gm7 C7
Well I thought my life was over when she walked right out on me
Am7 D7sus D7
And I watched the world around me just explode
Bbmaj7 Bb/C Bbmaj7 Bb/C
That's when I hit the highway, that's how I came to be
Am7
Morning Rider on the road
Gm7 C7 Gm7 C7
Well, I'd wake up in the morning with the sunshine in my eyes
Am7 D7sus D7
And the music of the Canyon would begin
Bbmaj7 Bb/C Bbmaj7 Bb/C
And I'd soar just like an eagle through the blue Montana skies
Am7
like a glider on the wind
F7 Bbadd9 Bb Bbadd9 Bb
There were times when I was hungry, times I missed a friend
Am7
but sleep would hush it over
F7 Bbadd9 Bb Bbadd9 Bb
There were times the rain would wake me and all my dreams would end
Am7
But a dream can't last forever
C6 C Bbmaj7 Am7
Na na na.....morning rider on the road
Bbmaj7 Am7
Na na na.....morning rider in the sun
Bbadd9 Bb Bbadd9 Bb
There were times when I was happy, being free was fun
Am7
like a hobo in the sun
F7 Bbadd9 Bb Bbadd9 Bb
There were times when I was lonely and I'd wish the night was done
Am7
like an Indian on the run
F7 Gm7 C7 Gm7 C7
And all at once I met you and you stop me in my tracks
Am7 D7sus D7
and all at once I lose the urge to roam
Bbmaj7 Bb/C Bbmaj7 Bb/C
So the hobo in the sun, and the Indian on the run
Bb F
and the rider on the highway found a home
Gm7 C7 Gm7 C7
And all at once I met you and you stop me in my tracks
Am7 D7sus D7
and all at once I lose the urge to roam
Bbmaj7 Bb/C Bbmaj7 Bb/C
So the hobo in the sun, and the Indian on the run
Bb F
and the rider on the highway found a home.
