INTRO: D  Dsus4  D  Dsus2  D  Dsus4  D  Dsus2

        D
There's do'ers and dont'ers and I will's and wont'ers
    G                    D
And them that don't even try
G                  D
Givers and takers, movers and shakers
    E7                         A7
And them that are just passin' by
D 
Skid rows and winos and some folks that I know
     G                           E7
That don't do like I think they should
  G                 A7     D               G
I thought they were livin' their lives all wrong
D           A7      D
Long before I understood


CHORUS:
G                           D
We all have to walk our own road
   A7                          D
We can't always go where we're told
       G                          D         G
In the end where we'll end up the Lord only knows
       D           A7           D
But we all have to walk our own road


INTRO

D
I've had some good times and I've had a good life
    G                        D
And I've had things goin' my way
G                                D
I've walked the high ground with treasures that I found
    E7                      A7
And women who brightened my day
D 
Then there were times I was caught in the crosswinds
   G                     E7
Of life goin' 'round and around
       G            A7          D           G
Like a ship with no sail, I was caught in a gail
       D            A7       D
'Til I finally just ran it aground


CHORUS (2x)
