Where The Blacktop Ends by Keith Urban
(Allen Shamblin/Steve Wariner)

Chorus
A                             G
Gonna kick off my shoes And run in bare feet
                   D                        A
Where the grass and the dirt and the gravel all meet
           A                                  G
Goin' back to the well gonna visit old friends
          D                                  A
And feed my soul where the blacktop ends

repeat intro

Verse 1
          D                            G         D
I'm lookin' down the barrel of Friday night
A                  E      A
Ridin' on a river of freeway lights
D               G           D
Goodbye city I'm country bound
B                           E
'Til Monday rolls around


Chorus
A                             G
Gonna kick off my shoes And run in bare feet
                   D                        A
Where the grass and the dirt and the gravel all meet
           A                                  G
Goin' back to the well gonna visit old friends
          D                                  A
And feed my soul where the blacktop ends


Verse 2
D                       G      D
Workin' in the grind is an uphill road
A                         E               A
Punchin' that clock and carryin' that load
D                      G          D
I bust it all week and then I'm free
B                           E
The weekend belongs to me


Chorus
A                             G
Gonna kick off my shoes And run in bare feet
                   D                        A
Where the grass and the dirt and the gravel all meet
           A                                  G
Goin' back to the well gonna visit old friends
          D                                  A
And feed my soul where the blacktop ends



Break/Bridge
C                         G
Give me some fresh air give me that farm
D                           A
Give me some time with you in my arms
C                 G                             E
Far away from the hustle and the pressure and the    noise

Where the grass and the dirt and the gravel all meet
