Intro:  A5 G5 D5 

A5 
42 more miles  
 
This stuff it cramps my style 
          D5         E5              A5 
Broke down on the side of the road 

A thousand flies a buzzin' 

Sittin' spittin' and cussin' 
   D5         E5            A5 
Sittin' on top of our load 
 
(chorus) 
       C#5     D5          A5 
If I ever get out of the hole 
       C#5      D5        E5 
If I ever get down the road 
        E5 
I got 42 miles to go 
 
5:30 in the evening 
Mechanic phone's a ringin' 
Is he ever gonna fix our ride 
You know I ain't bitchin', but bad new is all we're getting 
Just need a little luck on our side 
 
(repeat chorus) 
 
that fire siren screamin' 
Still I'm not believin' 
That much goes on in the town 
You know if I had the chance I'd do a chicken dance 
After I watched it burn to the ground 
 
(repeat chorus)
