This one I played on guitar with the capo on the second fret covering all except the low E string. A trick I learned from Steve Earle, one of the masters!

THIS WINDING ROAD L. McRae 05
This winding road has carried many a mighty load
From Knoxville up to Hudson’s Bay
Old touring cars, honky-tonks and bars
Some got lost some found along the way
They traveled light, hard and fast both day and night
Songs of love and songs of hate
Laying tracks, Hank please come on back
Tell me what was it like in your day
Times were lean winter winds blew hard and mean
Hound dogs gnawing at your bones
Drink and drugs June said, “John better shut him up
ain’t it time you sent that dog back home?”
This winding road has carried many a mighty load
From Knoxville up to Hudson’s Bay
Old touring cars, honky-tonks and bars
Some got lost some found along the way
Fancy cars, record men with fat cigars
Careers like cattle bought and sold
Ms. Wynette threw away her safety net
When they promised her rainbows and pots of gold
This winding road has carried a mighty load
Borders crossed along the way
Old touring cars and honky-tonk songs
Echo down this old highway
Echo down as I roll down this highway
