INTRO RE SOL LA RE
RE
He was standing by the highway
RE
with a sign that just said mother
RE
when he heard a driver coming
MI LA
about a half a mile away
RE
so he held the sign up higher
RE
so no decent soul could miss it
RE
it was ten degrees or colder
LA RE
down by boulder dam that day
RE
he was raised up in milwaukee
RE
though he never was that famous
RE
he was just a road musician
MI LA
to the taverns he would go
RE
singing songs about the rambling
RE
the loving girls and gambling
RE
how the world fell on his shoulder
LA RE
back in boulder I don't know
RE
it was out in arizona
RE
and he heard the lady listening
RE
to each word that he was singing
MI LA
to each line that he would write
RE
so he sat down by her table
RE
and they talked about the weather
RE
98.6 and rising
LA RE
down by boulder dam that night
SOL RE
and she told him she would take him
LA DO SOL
for a ride in the morning sun
SOL LA
back in boulder he had told her
LA DO SOL
I don't know when I've had a better friend
RE
now he's traded off his martin
RE
but his troubles are not over
RE
his feet are almost frozen
MI LA
and the sun is sinking low
RE
won't you listen to me brother
RE
if you loved your mother
RE
please pull off on the shoulder
LA RE
if you're going milwaukee way
RE
it's ten degrees and getting colder
LA RE
down by boulder dam today
