A5 Well my truck's wound up and it's ready to roll D5 I got a good buddy workin' for the Highway Patrol E5 A5 So if I get a ticket or two, It's gonna be alright A5 But the sheriff and his boys they're at Ernesta Lane D5 Unless they're out to lunch at the Dairy Queen E5 They'll be itchin' to turn on those red, white, and blue A5 lights A5 Well just like my daddy I was born a drifter D5 I got a rebel heart and eight - ball shifter E5 A5 Horns on the hood and forty channel CB Well some things you never leave home without D5 Like your Bible, log book, and your drivin' route E5 A5 And your Best Of Dale Watson on CD E5 D5 Cause I'm a diesel drivin' daddy A5 Don't you get in my lane E5 D5 Puttin' the pedal to the medal A5 Bringin' eighteen wheels of pain D5 I've been in love E5 Broke some hearts A5 D5 Settled down long enough to replace the parts D5 Kicked a little ass E5 A5 Fought along the way There's a lonely life livin' on the road When the only friend you've got is the radio And even he fades in and out every now and then But maybe someday you'll find the right one She can shift your gears and let ya ride shotgun Who knows how to get that big ole rig to spin Chorus A5 I'm a panhandlin' manhandlin' D5 Post holin' high rollin' dust bowlin' daddy E5 I ain't got no blood in my veins I just got them four lanes A5 Of hard Amarillo highway Chorus E5 D5 A5 Up and down that honky tonkin' highway They end the song by playing these chords pretty quick, so just use barre chords.
