G5 
Well I've been drivin' hours, just a pushin' through this rain  
C5                                                       G5 
Hell, from Corpus to Del Rio, man there ain't much in between  
     D5                                   C5                G5  
Nevermind the lines ahead of me like the ones I've left behind  
       C5         D5     G5             C5                      D5         C5        G5 
Well I hold that wheel with a steady hand, mama, yeah but a tired and troubled mind  
 
I lost the last radio station so many miles ago  

But I picked me up this spanish singer, she was beamin' out of Mexico  

Well her songs were sweet and soulful and every note she sang rang true  

But I couldn't understand a word she sang but the blues are still them blues  
  

      D5    C5        G5  
Yeah, damn this old road  
                   D5     C5  G5  
Lord it's about to steal my soul  
             A5       C5    C5 
Lord you get addicted to the money 
            D5   G5 
Better drug ??? cold   
 
 
Well the boss man he keeps pushin, well he wants me on that line  
Say if you gonna earn a dollar child you've gotta sacrfice sometimes  
Yeah but I'm all out of want to and I've been there for a while  
I've been runnin on fate these days, feelin' every goddamn mile  
 
 
Steel solo 
 
  
Well this gypsy life has robbed me of everything I own  
But why would a woman want me when she knows she'd be alone  
So I'm pushin' this truck a little faster, a little closer to the ground  
I pray I'll just out run it all, Hell if I could break the speed of sound  
 
Chorus
