Verse 1
Am                       F            C
Laid up in Glasgow, it's not a likely thing
     Am                       F        C
Them boys from Kentucky, they sure can drink
    Am                 F                      C
Bluegrass and bourbon, yeah the bottle got me hurting
     Am                       F          C
Been tryna slow down, doesn't seem to be working


Verse 2
Am                        F              C
Light a cigarette and the night's just begun
   Am                              F      C
So play this song right, would you let me bum one
       Am                           F                   C
If you buy another round, won't you tell me what you're thinkin'
Am                            F         C
Them boys from Kentucky, they sure been drinkin'


Chorus
        G              F C
And I'm 300 miles from you
  G                        F  C
I pray that I make it home soon
Am         C          F           C
Man on the run just a looking for fun
         Am          C            F          C
From the Mississippi river to the California sun

Verse 3
    Am                      F       C
The evergreen trees make it hard to breathe
        Am         C           F          C
I ain't talking elevation, I'm talking 'bout weed
    Am     C               F             C
The Subaru yuppies and the little hippie honeys
        Am           C          F          C
Breathe in too deep, got you feeling kinda funny


Chorus
        G              F C
And I'm 300 miles from you
G                      F        C
Man on the moon, Rocky Mountain high
Am         C          F           C
Man on the run just a looking for fun
          Am    C                    F    C
From Peachtree, Georgia, all the way to Canada


Interlude
C   Am C F C

Verse 4
       Am                         F          C
Headed back across country, we're over Tennessee
Am                          F   C
Gotta check my momma so she can see
         Am                          F           C
That her boy might be dancing to the beat of his own drum
       Am                      F           C
But he won't ever forget where he's coming from


Chorus
        G                  F         C
And I'm 10 more steps from our front door
      G                        F               C
Being out on the road makes me love this place more
Am         C          F           C
Man on the run just a looking for fun
         Am          C            F          C
From the Mississippi river to the California sun
Am         C          F                  C
Man on the run just a shooting out their gun
     Am         C                F          C
From Peachtree, Georgia, all the way to Canada
