 One Too Many Roads
 by Mark David Manders and Neuvo Tejas
 from the album "Tales from the Couch Circuit"
 Transcribed by Thomas Faulkenberry
 
 Note:  This song is recorded in Eb.  The chords I have presented are 
 relative to a capo on the first fret.
 
 D                                       F#m
 Stumblin' my way through life on those back roads of Texas
 G                                  A
 Lord I guess I've seen a thing or two
            D                             F#m
 There's a song in every smile, and not knowin' where the next is
           G                                 A
 Keeps my baggage packed and my mind on the move
       Bm                         A
 I've shared a lady's company in more than just one town
       G                             A
 When daylight comes a callin', I'm nowhere to be found
      D                                   F#m       G
 So I find myself searching, but there's nowhere to go
                       A              D
 'Cause I've been down one too many roads
 
 
 (chorus)
 G              A              D
 I've been down one too many roads
 Bm                                    G           A
 I've found out the hard way ain't the only way to go
          G              A               D              Bm
 And the miles I've put behind me have left me a little slow
         G             A             D
 'Cause I've been down one too many roads
 
 
 Spent many a night alone, my coat draped across my shoulder
 Chasin' headlights with my thumb in the air
 And each truck that passes by makes me feel a little older
 Makes me wonder, what the hell am I doing here
 When I see those brake lights shining, I get that feeling down inside
 When I crawl up in the cab, I know it's just another ride
 I try hard to hide it, but I know it must show
 That I've been down one too many roads
 
 (repeat chorus)
 
 When I was just 16, I fell in love with music
 And taught myself to play this old guitar
 I'd write all about my life, but they said they couldn't use it
 Now I know why Nashville seems so far
 Now I'm playing where I can for the money and the beer
 Thank God for Texas, thank God I'm here
 And if they wanted me in Nashville, I don't think I'd go
 'Cause I've been down one too many roads
 
 (repeat chorus)
 
 'Cause I've been down one too many roads
