C                                F                 C
The weather vane out on the shed is looking to the west
                                         G7        C
I reckon I'll head that way it's good as any way I guess
                            F           C
Closin' this ole gate kinda ends our episode
                                  F         G7        C
Cause there's no use runnin' when you're on the wrong road
 
                              F            C
Gal it wouldn't take much for someone to define
                                   G7              C
All the contradicting flashes that burn across our minds
                                     F                  C
But there's no way to communicate if you don't know the code
                                F         G7        C
And there's no use runnin' when you're on the wrong road
 
                                F                           C
There's times I get to thinkin' about the way it might have been
                                G7               C
And I wonder how we got to this state that we're in
                            F            C
But ever word we spoke only added to the load
                                F         G7        C
And there's no use runnin' when you're on the wrong road
 
                                F              C
I guess we knew some things you gotta fight to win
                                   G7                C
But you get to standin' back after leadin' with your chin
                                   F                C
We both learned too young that you reap what's been sowed
                                F         G7        C
And there's no use runnin' when you're on the wrong road
                               F         G7        C
No there's no use runnin' when you're on the wrong road
