Full song lyrics:

(Verse)
E7
I’ve been travellin’ down the line,
A7
Hear my guitar, it’s the only sign,
E7
Of a life lived on the run,
B7
Beneath the moon, under the sun.

(Chorus)
E7
Down the line, down the line,
A7
My heart’s a prisoner, ain’t no crime,
E7
Keep on moving, no lookin’ behind,
B7
It’s just me and my shadow, down the line.

(Verse)
E7
Ain’t got no roots, ain’t got no home,
A7
Just the highway, where I roam,
E7
My soul’s a song, my heart’s a rhyme,
B7
Just me and my shadow, down the line.

(Chorus)
E7
Down the line, down the line,
A7
My heart’s a prisoner, ain’t no crime,
E7
Keep on moving, no lookin’ behind,
B7
It’s just me and my shadow, down the line.
