Verse 1
A
First time I met
old Turnpike Tom
Sittin' in a diner in Bloomington
D
A
He said "Are you going my way?"
He had a sleeping bag and
his hat was torn
And both his thumbs were two feet long
D
From years of hitchin'
A
on the hi- way
C
He said "Mister,
Bm
Em
won't you give me a ride
C
Bm
I'm a wanted man lookin'
Em
E
for a place to hide"
A
Oh, we finished the coffee and
D
we got in the car
A
D
We drove off and hadn't gone far
A
E
A
When Tom began to tell me his sad story...
Verse 2
A
He said "Long around 1942
Buddy, I robbed a bank in Kalamazoo
D
Just to get enough money to
A
marry my true darlin'
But she died when she
heard what I had done
And ever since I've been on the run
D
A
Standing on the hi- ways a callin'
C
A callin' mister won't
Bm
Em
you give me a ride
C
Bm
I'm a wanted man lookin'
Em
E
for a place to hide"
A
Said "Now I'm gettin'
D
old and ready to die
A
D
Too tired to run and too sick to try
A
E
And soon I'll be hitchin' upstairs
A
in the skyway..."

A
D
A
play that again...
D
Verse 4
A
He said "I can't pay you for the ride
Just once before I die
D
A
I'd like to do somebody a favor"
And out of his pocket came
a rusty old key
Along with a map and he give 'em to me
D
And said "Here's an end
A
to all your labor"

"Way down in Greensboro, Tennessee
C
In the back of Rusty's
Bm

Roadside Cabaret
A
D
There's 20, 000 in unmarked green
A
The money I stole that's
D
in the machine
A
E
That hangs on the wall in Rusty's
A
Roadside men's room"
Verse 6
A
So, three nights later at Rusty's door
I had a beer and then I had one more
D
A
Then I headed for the treasure
Just like old Turnpike Tom had said
The machine was under a sign which read
D
A
Sanitary 3- for- a- quarter
C
Bm
Em
So I took out the key and I broke the lock
C
Bm
There to my bewilderment
Em
E
and shock
A
I found a sign which read
D
"You've just been had
A
D
In a sanitary way by Turnpike Tom
A
The outlaw with the fast
E
est sense of humor"
Verse 7
A
And if you meet someone
with a troubled mind
Well, just give him the key and
D
feed him the line
A
And tell him his days will soon be better
Verse 8
C
Yes, and mister,
Bm
Em
you've been taken for a ride
C
Bm
There ain't nothin' but fools
Em
E
gold here inside
A
Oh, the real gold,
D
that's inside us all
A
D
Remember that you only fall for
A
E
A
Lies and stories when you really want to
