Em 
and then he headed down the  (E minor) road

Along  (G major) come a semi with a heavy load,
D

A 
She  (A major) pulled over hard in the summer heat,
E 
 (E major) kicking up the gravel like a
wounded beast
B 
 (B major) Through the roar of the diesel,
the driver said, son,
F#m

I've got a road to run
A 
He  (A major) climbed up high on
the shotgun side,
B 
throwed  (B major) his blanket in the back,
he settled down to ride away
