Intro
D# Gm G# A# D#
[Verse]
D# G# D#
Well I spent my whole life since I was high as a knee
D# A#
By that two-lane blacktop they call Route 23
D#
My daddy ran a service station
G# D#
And the pumps they did shine
D# Gm G# D#
I'd watch him wash the windshields, keep the old look to that mind
[Verse]
D# G# D#
Well the days they were long, but the money was good
D# A#
The only things that changed were the seasons and the shapes of the hoods
D# G# D#
'Til the government came on the radio in late '55
D# Gm
Said the state's gonna build a new highway
G# D#
One that's fast, smooth and wide
[Chorus]
G# Cm D#
With that new highway, no one stops here anymore
D# G# D# A#
And you can't make living without swinging that door
D# G# D#
The sign by the roadside still says "Come On In"
Gm G# D#
But the bulbs are long since burnt out, not to light up again
[Verse]
D# G# D#
Now daddy was as stubborn as a mule in the snow
D# A#
He said, "Good folks return to the places that they know"
D# G# D#
But after the gravel arrived and those steamrollers whined
D# Gm
All those good folks left me and daddy
G# D#
And those two lanes behind
[Chorus]
G# Cm D#
With that new highway, no one stops here anymore
D# G# D# A#
And you can't make living without swinging that door
D# G# D#
The sign by the roadside still says "Come On In"
Gm G# D#
But the bulbs are long since burnt out, not to light up again
[Instrumental]
D# D# Gm G# G# G# A# D#
[Verse]
D# G# D#
Now the calendar on the wall still reads 19 and 75
D# A#
No one crossed out the day that my daddy died
D# G# D#
We laid him in the ground 'neath that old sycamore tree
D# Gm G# D#
That shades a boarded up gas station... out on Route 23
[Chorus]
G# Cm D#
With that new highway, no one stops here anymore
D# G# D# A#
And you can't make living without swinging that door
D# G# D#
The sign by the roadside still says "Come On In"
Gm G# D#
But the bulbs are long since burnt out, not to light up again
Gm G# D#
Yeah, the bulbs are long since burnt out, not to light up again
