    • Verse 1

    I was 
    out on the 
    West Coast, 

    tryin' 
    to make 
    a 

    buck 

    An
    d 
    thing
    s didn't 
    work 
    out
    , 

    I was down 
    on my 
    luck

    Got tired 
    a-roam
    in' and 

    and 
    bum
    min' 
    around 

    So 
    I started 
    thumbin' 
    back 
    East, 

    toward my 
    home town. 

    Made a lot 
    Verse 2
    of miles, 
    the first 
    two days 

    And 
    I figured 
    I'd be 
    home in week, 

    if 
    my luck 
    held out 
    this way 

    But, 
    the 
    third 
    night 
    I 
    got stranded, 

    way out of 
    town 

    At a 
    cold, 
    lonely 
    crossroads, 

    rain 
    was 
    pourin' 
    down. 

    I 
    was hungry 
    and 
    freezin', 
    Verse 3

    done 
    caught a chill 

    When 
    the lights 
    of 
    a big 
    semi 
    topped 
    the hill 
    Lord, 

    I sure 
    was glad 
    to hear 
    them 
    air brakes 
    come on 

    And I 
    climbed 
    in 
    that cab, 

    where I 
    knew 
    it'd be warm. 

    At the 
    wheel sit 
    a big 
    man, 
    Verse 4

    he weighed 
    about two-ten 

    He 
    He 
    stuck out 
    his hand 

    and said 
    with a grin 

    "Big 
    Joe's 
    the name", 

    I told 
    him mine 

    And he 
    said: 
    "The 
    name 

    of my rig 
    is 
    Phantom 
    309." 

    I 
    asked 
    Verse 5
    him why 
    he called 

    his 
    rig such 
    a 
    name 

    He 
    said: 
    "Son, 

    this 
    old Mack 
    can 
    put 'em 
    all 
    to shame 

    There ain't 
    a 
    driver
    , or 
    a rig, 

    a-runnin' 
    any 
    any 
    line 

    Ain't 
    seen 
    nothin' 
    but taillights 

    from 
    Phantom 
    309." 

    Well, 
    we rode 
    and 
    talked 
    the 
    Verse 6

    better part 
    of the 
    night 

    When 
    the lights 
    of a truck stop 

    came 
    in sight 

    He said: 
    "I'm sorry 
    son, 

    this is 
    as far as 
    you go 

    'Cause, 
    I gotta 
    make a turn, 

    just on 
    up 
    the road." 

    Well, he tossed 
    me 
    Verse 7
    a dime 

    as he pulled 
    her in 
    low 

    And said: 
    "Have yourself 
    a 
    cup 

    on 
    old Big 
    Joe." 

    When Joe 
    and his 
    rig 
    roared 

    out 
    in the 
    night 

    In noth
    in' flat, 

    he 
    was clean 
    out of sight. 

    Verse 8
    Well, 
    I went 
    inside 
    and ordered 
    me a cup 

    Told 
    the waiter 
    Big Joe 

    was 
    settin' me 
    up 

    Aw!, 
    you coulda 
    heard a pin 
    drop, 

    it got 
    deathly 
    quiet 

    And the waiter's 
    face 

    turned 
    kinda 
    white. 

    Well, 
    did 
    I 
    Verse 9
    say 
    something wrong? 

    I said 
    with a halfway 
    grin 

    He 
    said: "Naw, 

    this 
    happens 
    every now 
    and then 

    Ever' driver 
    in here 
    knows 
    Big Joe 

    But son, 
    let 
    me 
    tell you 
    what happened 

    about 
    ten years 
    ago. 

    Verse 10
    At the 
    crossroads 
    tonight, 

    where you 
    flagged 
    him down 

    There 
    was a 
    bus 
    load of kids, 

    comin' 
    from town 

    And 
    they 
    were 
    right in the 
    middle, 

    when Big 
    Joe 
    topped the 
    hill 

    It could 
    have 
    been slaughter, 

    but he turned 
    his 
    wheel. 

    Well, 
    Joe lost 
    con
    trol, 
    Verse 11

    went into 
    a skid 
    A 

    nd gave 
    his life 
    to save 
    that 
    bunch-a kids 

    kid
    s 

    And 
    there at 
    that crossroads, 

    was the 
    end of 
    the 
    line 

    For 
    Big Joe 
    and 
    Phantom 
    309 

    Verse 12
    But, 
    every 
    now 
    and then, 

    some 
    hiker'll come 
    by 

    And 
    like you, 
    Big 
    Joe'll give 
    'em a ride 

    Here, 
    have another 
    cup 
    and forget 

    about 
    the 
    dime 

    Keep it 
    as a souvenir, 

    from 
    Big 
    Joe 
    and 
    Phantom 309!"

      "

      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.

      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 🙂

      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.
