G5                     D5 
There's a curve in the highway, just south of town 
        E5                     C5 
Where a man has pulled over to figure life out 
     G5                           D5 
With only his conscience and the lonesome sound 
   C5 
Of diesels winding up grade 
           G5                  D5 
He's got a wife and two kids, they love him so 
           E5                               C5 
He's got a woman down in Georgia, and she's startin' to show 
     G5                                 D5 
He's damned if he leaves her, and he's sure damned if he don't 
       C5 
And he wonders how life got this way 

Refr?o -------------
             D5    G5    C5                    D5 
Cause it's a fine line in between right and wrong 
                G5                  C5              D5 
Yeah, he's been crossing over that border way too long 
            E5                    D5              G5 
He should'a seen it coming at him right from the start 
          C5                      D5      G5  
Now there ain?t no escape from a broken heart
--------------------
Now the call of the highway is a powerful thing 

Like the pull of a lover, or a child in a swing 

Gave his heart to two women, only one wears his ring 

They're both gonna have his babies now 

So how do you confess what words don't explain 

He never intended to cause this much pain 

Now he feels like a farmer who went praying for the rain 

Got more than he bargained from the clouds 
 
Chorus 
 

B5                                    C5 
He'll turn his car around tonight, go home and try to face the truth 
A5          G5                               F#5                  D5 
Everyone involved's getting hurt, now there ain?t nothing he can do 
 
Chorus
