Verse 1
[G]Mileage has taken its toll, [C]painted with lines to show,
[Am]You've had your fill of [Em]asphalt, cough [G]tremors and smoke-filled [D]doors.
[G]Look like the habit controls you, [C]look like you need a rest,
[Am]You've made it to the [Em]timber line, [G]don't know what to [D]expect.
Chorus
[Am]God knows you [C]don't need it,
Too [G]early you might be [C]the one.
[Em] Find yourself [D]somewhere else,
Too early in the [C]sun.

Verse 2
[G]Song strains distant over,[C] the barroom drink-filled roar
[Am]The old folksinger [Em]lays it down, not for [G]long, no longer [D]ignored.
[G]Spinning tales of temptation,[C] gambling days lost and won,
[Am]No crimes [Em]committed here, too much [G]habit could be [D]the one.
Chorus
[Am]God knows you [C]don't need it,
Too [G]early you might be [C]the one.
[Em] Find yourself [D]somewhere else,
Too early in the [C]sun.

Verse 3
[G]Never seen half of what you've seen,[C] real life never quite adds up.
[Am]The road goes on when the [Em]faces don't, word of [G]mouth never tells [D]the truth.
[G]Like to hear your story told with a [C]two-step beatin' rhyme,
Could [Am]be Tennessee or [Em]Texas, on and [G]on the mad road [D]winds.
Chorus
[Am]God knows you [C]don't need it,
Too [G]early you might be [C]the one.
[Em] Find yourself [D]somewhere else,
Too early in the [C]sun.
