    Verse 1
    When 
    I 
    pulled 
    out 

    of 
    Basra 
    they 
    all 
    wished 
    me 
    luck 

    Just 
    like 
    they 
    always 
    did 
    before 

    With 
    a 
    bulletproof 
    screen 

    on 
    the 
    hood 
    of 
    my 
    truck 

    And 
    a 
    Bradley 
    on 
    my 
    back 
    door 

    And 
    I 
    wound 
    her 
    up and 

    shifted 
    her 
    down 

    And 
    I 
    offered 
    this 
    prayer 
    to 
    my 
    lord 

    I 
    said 
    "God 
    get 
    me 
    back 

    home 
    to 
    Houston 
    alive 

    And 
    I 
    won't 
    drive 
    a 
    truck 
    anymore" 

    Verse 2
    Early 
    in 
    the mornin' 
    and 

    I'm 
    rollin' 
    fast 

    Haulin' 
    nine 
    thousand 
    gallons 

    of 
    high 
    test 
    gas 

    Sergeant 
    on the 
    radio 
    hollerin' 
    at 
    me 

    Look 
    out 
    up 
    ahead 
    here 
    come 
    a 
    R.P.G. 

    If 
    I 
    ever 
    get 
    home 
    to 
    Houston 
    alive 

    Then 
    I 
    won't 
    drive 
    a 
    truck 
    any
    more 

    Interlude 1



    Verse 3
    I've 
    driven 
    the 
    big 
    rigs 
    for 
    all 
    of 
    my 
    life 

    And 
    my 
    radio 
    handle's 

    "Train" 

    Down 
    steep 
    mountain 
    roads 

    on 
    the 
    darkest 
    of 
    nights 

    I 
    had 
    ice 
    water 
    in 
    my 
    vein
    s 

    And 
    I 
    come 
    over 
    here 
    'cause 

    I 
    just 
    didn't 
    care 

    Now 
    I'm 
    older 
    and 
    wiser 
    by 
    far 

    If 
    I 
    ever 
    get 
    home 
    to 
    Houston 
    alive 

    Then 
    I 
    won't 
    drive 
    a 
    truck 

    any
    more 


    Verse 4
    Great 
    God 
    A'mighty 
    what 

    was 
    wrong 
    with 
    me 

    I 
    know 
    the money's 
    good 
    but 

    buddy 
    can't 
    you see 

    You 
    can't 
    take 
    it 
    with 
    you 

    and that 
    ain't 
    no 
    lie 

    I 
    don't 
    wanna 
    let 
    'em get 

    me 
    I'm 
    too 
    young 
    to 
    die 

    If 
    I 
    ever 
    get 
    home 
    to 
    Houston 
    alive 

    Then 
    I 
    won't 
    drive 
    a 
    truck 
    any
    more

      Best Tuning App Ever

      MaddProfessor

      "

      I’ve downloaded many tuning apps before and this one is by far the best. Easy to use, super user-friendly, and they have a bunch of fun different chords and songs to help you learn new music. I highly recommend.

      Well-Designed App

      I mostly use this for tuning my guitar, which this app makes ridiculously easy. It also has a large selection of songs to play along to and it helps show you which chords to play as well how to make the shapes with your fingers.

      Got me back into playing

      Tuliketsune

      "

      I got this app to tune an old guitar, and noticed it has a feature that autoscrolls as I play chords to famous songs. For some reason, this was a lot more motivating for me than any other way of practicing guitar. Now I'm actually practicing and remembering the names of chords 🙂

      Not only is it a tuner (best app tuner I've used personally) but it also has a metronome, games, chords, and a plethora of instruments to choose from and it's SUPER easy to navigate. I love it! Thanks for making an awesome app. From one musician to another, THANKS!!!

      This is the best guitar tuner ever.

      It tunes your guitar accurately so you can get the best sound. I like all the other little games as well because they teach you how to play different chords and you can learn to identify the chords by listening to them and it is all offline.
