Hayes Carll - Highway 87 guitar chord

Highway 87

By Hayes Carll

E

I said highway 87 is a dangerous place to be

E7

When you pissed off all the local boys and your back’s against the sea

A

The cops all know your number, bars all know your name

E

After six straight months of drinkin’ boy, you’re never gonna be the same

B7

And I ain’t seen the sunshine since I don’t remember when

A E

I may not know where I'm goin’ but I sure know where I’ve been

Aww the sheriff he just watches every move I make

And one of those days he’s gonna arrest me for all the time I take

The local girls all act like I just ain’t their kind

Paintin’ on their precious nails and losin’ their sweet minds

And I’d give half of Texas if I could find a friend

I may not know where I'm goin’ but I sure know where I’ve been

Ahh the coast is disappearing as they line up on the beach

Doin’ all them little things that Sunday school don’t teach

Jim Beam by the fire, cocaine in the stash

Baseball bat on the floorboard, shotgun on the dash

And you might lose your mind go walkin’ round the bend

You may not know where you’re goin’ but you’ll sure know where you been

Solo

Repeat Verse 1
