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.
