A5 
Well my truck's wound up and it's ready to roll 
      D5 
I got a good buddy workin' for the Highway Patrol 
      E5                                 A5 
So if I get a ticket or two, It's gonna be alright 
        A5 
But the sheriff and his boys they're at Ernesta Lane
            D5 
Unless they're out to lunch at the Dairy Queen 
           E5 
They'll be itchin' to turn on those red, white, and blue  
 A5 
lights 
 
 
A5 
Well just like my daddy I was born a drifter 
D5 
I got a rebel heart and eight - ball shifter 
E5                            A5 
Horns on the hood and forty channel CB 
 
Well some things you never leave home without 
D5 
Like your Bible, log book, and your drivin' route 
E5                        A5 
And your Best Of Dale Watson on CD 
            E5                   D5 
Cause I'm a diesel drivin' daddy 
            A5 
Don't you get in my lane 
            E5                D5 
Puttin' the pedal to the medal 
          A5 
Bringin' eighteen wheels of pain 
             D5 
I've been in love 
           E5 
Broke some hearts 
               A5                   D5 
Settled down long enough to replace the parts 
          D5 
Kicked a little ass 
E5              A5 
Fought along the way  

There's a lonely life livin' on the road 

When the only friend you've got is the radio 

And even he fades in and out every now and then 

But maybe someday you'll find the right one 

She can shift your gears and let ya ride shotgun

Who knows how to get that big ole rig to spin 
 
Chorus 
 
 
A5 
I'm a panhandlin' manhandlin' 
                                D5 
Post holin' high rollin' dust bowlin' daddy 
E5 
I ain't got no blood in my veins 
 
I just got them four lanes 
              A5 
Of hard Amarillo highway 
 
Chorus 
        E5            D5      A5 
Up and down that honky tonkin' highway 
 
They end the song by playing these chords pretty quick, so just use barre chords. 
F#5 , G5 , G#5 , A5 , A5
