This one I played on guitar with the capo on the second fret covering all except the low E string. A trick I learned from Steve Earle, one of the masters!

A tribute to all the folks that slogged it out on the highways and byways paving the way for folks like me. Thanks Hank, Johnny and June, Tammy, folks you only need first names for!

THIS WINDING ROAD L. McRae 05 This winding road has carried many a mighty load From Knoxville up to Hudson’s Bay Old touring cars, honky-tonks and bars Some got lost some found along the way They traveled light, hard and fast both day and night Songs of love and songs of hate Laying tracks, Hank please come on back Tell me what was it like in your day Times were lean winter winds blew hard and mean Hound dogs gnawing at your bones Drink and drugs June said, “John better shut him up ain’t it time you sent that dog back home?” This winding road has carried many a mighty load From Knoxville up to Hudson’s Bay Old touring cars, honky-tonks and bars Some got lost some found along the way Fancy cars, record men with fat cigars Careers like cattle bought and sold Ms. Wynette threw away her safety net When they promised her rainbows and pots of gold This winding road has carried a mighty load Borders crossed along the way Old touring cars and honky-tonk songs Echo down this old highway Echo down as I roll down this highway x
