Verse 1
G
Four a.m., headlights on,
C
Daylight coming slow,
G
Four thousand five hundred k’s,
D
Down this open road.
G
Two good mates, a long white line,
C
Talking soft and low,
G
Saying things we never say,
D
Places we don’t go.

Pre-Chorus
C
Every town, familiar face,
G
Every heart gets heavy,
D
But it’s lighter when you say it out loud.

Chorus
G
This is the road to zero,
D
Where the shame lets go,
A
Where a man can say he’s hurting,
E
And still come home.
G
Yeah we’re singing it louder,
D
So everybody knows,
A
You don’t walk it alone, my friend,
E
On the road to zero.

Verse 2
G
Servo lights and country nights,
C
Hands we’ve never known,
G
“Good on ya boys,” they smile and say,
D
“You’re not on your own.”
g
in towns where the road runs out,
c
but the people don’t,
g
they remind us all that help is close,
d closer than we thought.
