Verse 1:
D                       Bb
Sitting here, drinking again-
D                           Bb
Thinking back on how simple it used to be
D*                       Bb*                                 C*
Can it ever be that way again? I'm drinking this one to my friends, 
                                    A*
Looks like they'll be here till the end
                     D  Bb
  Till their bitter end
f-C
  What are dreams for anyway,
      D               Bb             f    C
  Without the guts to live your life that way?

Chorus:
D
We are the Highway Kings!
Bb
Chasing our destinies!

Crusing through a time zone,
Bb
As the world stands still!

Verse 2:
D*
Harvest moon in a desert sky,
Bb*
Making good times as we pass it by
C*                                A*
Wherever this road takes us it was meant to be
                 D    Bb
   We're already home
f-C
  What are dreams for anyway,
      D               Bb             f    C    D  Bb
  Without the guts to live your life that way?
f-C
  What are songs for anyway,
      D               Bb             f    C    
  Without the guts to live your life that way?

Learned to let go of the things we can't control
              (G)
Left 'em behind and followed rock and roll

We found a new way of life forever till the end of time

But never getting old..
