Remove AdsMAKING A LIVIN' (NOT A KILLIN')
As recorded by Leon Majcen
(2025 release)
[Intro]
G
[Verse 1]
GChecked out the Super 8, walking to the truck
GWith a cup of coffee and a Hot Pocket
GTopping off the tank, just tryna stay awake
GI'm talking to her picture in a locket
CSaid I know I've been gone, you've been all alone
GBut for now, I gotta make the next show
AI'll try you in the evening, but I know you'll be sleeping
CAnd I don't know when I'll be home
[Chorus]
GAin't that the way it goes
GWhen you're on the road
CAin't that the way it goes
GWhen you're making a living on the road
DThis road goes on forever
CAnd I'm barely holding it together
GThat's the way it goes
GWhen you're making a living, not a killing on the road (Woo)
[Instrumental Break]
C G
[Verse 2]
GShe never knows where I'm at
GSmall town, no track, truck stops in between
GIt's Pilot or Love's, Buccee's if you're lucky
GIt's a road dog's American Dream
CAnd I'm a little bit stoned, a lotta bit broke
GAnd always a town behind
DShe asked how's Oklahoma City
CAnd I said Tulsa's pretty alright
[Chorus]
GThat's the way it goes
GWhen you're on the road
CAin't that the way it goes
GWhen you're making a living on the road
DThis road goes on forever
CAnd I'm barely holding it together
GThat's the way it goes
GWhen you're making a living, not a killing on the road (Woo)
[Instrumental Break]
C G
[Bridge]
CI'm a rambling man, a one-man band
GAnd my baby ain't here with me
DBut I'm an old-tune slinger, an old-school singer
CAnd always gonna be
[Chorus]
GLiving on the road
G'Cause that's the way it goes
CAin't that the way it goes
GWhen you're making a living on the road
DThis road goes on forever
CAnd I'm barely holding it together
GThat's the way it goes
GThat's the way it goes
[Post-Chorus]
GThat's the way it goes
GThat's the way it goes
GThat's the way it goes
GThat's the way it goes
GThat's the way it goes
GThat's the way it goes
GThat's the way it goes
GThat's the way it goes
GThat's the way it goes
GThat's the way it goes
[Outro]
G(That's the way it goes)
G(That's the way it goes)
G(That's the way it goes)
G(That's the way it goes)
G(That's the way it goes)
GThat's the way it goes
G(That's the way it goes)
GThat's the way it goes
GThat's the way it goes
