[Intro]
G     Dmaj7


[Verse 1]
        G
Goodbye mama, goodbye everything I know
           Dmaj7
I blame my old man
Dmaj7
For the ramblin’ in these bones
            G
And goodbye problems
G
You ain’t gonna run me down
            Dmaj7
Don’t worry Texas, you know I’ll be back around
        G              A
Find me everywhere but anywhere


[Chorus]
          G
Yeah, I’m nowhere bound
G
I’m out on the loose
       D
And my mind winds down
D
And my hearts on cruise
       G
Go the wrong way get a little lost
G
Find a road side bar, get tossed
         D
Close my eyes and I’ll be there
D
Destination I don’t care
          G                 D
Cause I’m nowhere, yeah I’m nowhere bound


[Verse 2]
      G
Hello freedom in that windshield full of stars
          D
And hello dreamin’ I’ve been wonderin’ where you are
               Em               A
I’ll find some sanity out there on the breeze


[Chorus]
          G
Cause I’m nowhere bound
G
I’m out on the loose
       D
And my mind winds down
D
And my hearts on cruise
       G
Go the wrong way get a little lost
G
Find a road side bar, get tossed
         D
Close my eyes and I’ll be there
D
Destination I don’t care
          G                 D
Cause I’m nowhere, yeah I’m nowhere bound


[Interlude]
G     D


[Bridge]
                Em             A
You can find me everywhere but anywhere


[Chorus]
          G
Yeah, I’m nowhere bound
G
I’m out on the loose
       D
And my mind winds down
D
And my hearts on cruise
       G
Go the wrong way get a little lost
G
Find a road side bar, get tossed
         D
Close my eyes and I’ll be there
D
Destination I don’t care
          G                 D
Cause I’m nowhere, yeah I’m nowhere bound
