Capo 4th fret 
Intro 
G5 E5 G5 E5 
 
G5 
The sun has opened up my eyes 
                             D5 
And I don't wanna leave your side 
                  C5 
For that lonesome road 
           G5 
But here I go climbing back behind the wheel 
 
Of fifty feet of chrome and steel 
      D5                 C5 
And a load they need in Chicago 
E5 D5 C5 
     Through the middle of the night unknown 
E5 D5 C5                        D5 
     I'm on a ride that won't let me go 


G5              D5 
I'm an asphalt cowboy 
E5 
Born to run underneath the stars 
C5 
Pay no mind to my lonely heart 
G5          D5 
Just ride, ride 
E5                          C5 
'Till I'm back in your arms again 
E5                      C5 
I'll be out here on the wind  
 

G5 
Sometimes late at night 
                                    D5 
I see your picture by the dashboard light 
             C5                    G5 
And it takes me where I'd like to be 
G5 
Wrapped up in a blanket there 
G5 
Pullin' ribbons from your hair 
         D5                 C5 
And your kiss, girl that's what I miss 
E5 D5 C5  
     Still I drive these horses through the rain and snow 
E5 D5 C5                        D5 
     This high speed rodeo is all I know 
 
(Chorus) 
 

G5            D5 
And I'll ride 
E5                           C5 
Untill I'm back in your arms again 
E5                       C5 
I'll be out there on the wind 
G5            D5 
And I'll ride 
E5 
Through the middle of the night unknown 
C5 
On a ride that won't let me go 
G5       E5     
Asphalt cowboy
