[Verse 1]
G D
Passing under barren skies
C Am
Waiting for our worlds to collide
G
And there you are
D C Am
All alone feeling bad
G D
Interstate movin' again
C Am
Barrel through thick and thin
G
Side by side
D C G
To survive like creosote
[Chorus]
C
Born under widespread changes
G
The search for higher reason
C
Learning the ropes okay
Am D
But fate just runs you around
[Interlude]

[Verse 2]
G D
From Memphis to New Orleans
C Am
In and out of railroad dreams
G
You're out there
D C Am
In scenes passing by
G D
Everyone faces what they deserve
C Am
A carousel to claim or curse
G
Sticking around
D C G
At least for the ride
[Chorus]
C
Born under widespread changes
G
The search for higher reason
C
Learning the ropes okay
Am D
But fate just runs you around
