Verse 1
Blaze Foley - Sittin' by the Road
Intro
[C7] [G7] [C7]
Verse
Sittin' by the [C7]road, goin' nowhere
Ah but I'll [G7]get that house somedays, well I know
Sittin' by the [C7]road, lookin' at the sky
Wondering [G7]where do we go, why do we die, why did I say, did I really try?
Just sittin' by the [C7]road, not a doubt in my mind
But if [G7]you believe that, you'll believe anything, sayin' "well it's nice,
to go out when it rains"
What's so bad about [C7]that? When your sittin' by the road
Instrumental
[G7] [C7] [G7] [C7]
Verse
Sittin' by the [C7]road
Yes [G7]take off your shoes, play with your feet, knees need a rest, but got
nothing to eat
When you're sittin' by the [C7]road, doin' your time
And your [G7]socks are still wet when you put 'em back on, you look around for
a stranger, but even they're gone
Where did everybody [C7]go? Ain't nobody around
[G7]Some drive a bus, some drive a car, some are just useless, whatever they
are
When you're sittin' by the [C7]road, goin' nowhere
Ah but [G7]I'll get that house somedays, well I know
Sittin' by the [C7]road
Tired of sittin' by the [C7]road (x4)
