Intro: G5 C5 G5  G5 C5 G5  G5 C5 G5  G5 C5 G5     

               C5 
He's pulling out for Reno 
                G5 
He hopes a tire don't blow 
        D5 
Up near Albuquerque 
                        G5 
He'll fuel and get some coffee 
                C5 
Cline's Corners truck stop 
                  G5 
A waitress with a wet mop 
               D5 
Telling him to don't walk 
                    G5 
He tips his hat and don't talk 
 
CHORUS 
                            C5         D5 C5 
He knows it's nothing but a good ride 
                            G5           C5 G5 
No there's nothing there he can't slide 
                           D5          C5 D5 
No there's nothing that he won't spin 
                         G5           C5 G5 
No there's nothing to it do it again 
                        C5        D5 C5 
No it's nothing but the big show 
                           G5        C5 G5 
No there's nowhere that he won't go 
                   D5        C5 D5 
No he never has to ask why 
                            G5   C5 G5  G5   C5 G5 
He knows it's nothing but a good ride 
 

                                  C5 
He says there's something about a sunrise 
          G5 
Waking up sleepy eyes 
                                  D5 
He says there's something about a highway 
               G5 
Telling him he can't stay 
                                  C5 
He says there's something about a long drive 
                    G5 
That gives him some peace of mind 
                              D5 
And there's something that he can't take 
                    G5 
When he's coming in second place 
 
CHORUS

BREAK: 
C5 - G5 - D5 - G5 - C5 - G5 - D5 - G5 
 
                  C5 
And when it's all over 
                    G5 
He'll move a little slower 
                     D5 
He'll back up to the trailer 
                G5 
And look toward Oklahoma 
                                 C5 
He'll pull out right through the middle of town 
                        G5 
And watch the sun start sinking down 
                           D5 
Still just lighting up the road signs 
                           G5 
Getting ready for the next time.
