    Verse 1
    Peterbilt 

    drivers don't 
    pick 
    up 
    low 
    riders 

    They 
    don't 
    slow 
    for 
    the 

    curves 
    in 
    the 
    road 

    They 
    hate 
    to 
    keep 
    logs, 

    they 
    hate 
    riders 
    on 
    hogs 

    Watch 
    out 
    for 
    a shift 
    in 
    your load 


    Verse 2
    When 
    was 
    young, 
    had 
    Gene 
    Autry guns 

    But 
    I never 
    had 
    a Lionel 
    train 

    Now 
    I've 
    got 
    a truck, 

    if 
    I keep 
    payments 
    up 

    And 
    it 
    weighs 
    thirty 
    tons 
    in 
    the 
    rain 

    Verse 3
    wear 
    Frisco 
    jeans 
    with 
    riveted 
    seams 

    My 
    money 
    is 
    chained 
    to 
    my 
    belt 

    wear 
    a Cat 
    cap 
    just 
    like 
    my 
    pap 

    He 
    drove 
    till 
    it 
    ruined 
    his 
    health 

    Verse 4

    Now, 
    Georgia 
    Bill 
    Smith 
    wore 

    thick 
    glasses 
    and 
    boots 

    He could 
    see 
    'bout 
    as 
    far 
    as 
    he could 
    walk 

    He 
    came 
    up 
    too 
    fast 
    on 

    that 
    bridge 
    overpass 

    Lord, 
    the preacher 
    sure 
    gave 
    a fine 
    talk 


    Verse 5
    When 
    was 
    young, 
    had 
    Gene 
    Autry guns 

    But 
    I never 
    had 
    a Lionel 
    train 

    Now 
    I've 
    got 
    a truck 
    if 

    I keep 
    payments 
    up 

    And 
    it 
    weighs 
    thirty 
    tons 
    in 
    the 

    rain 

    Interlude 1


    I've 
    read 
    Verse 6
    a few 
    lines 
    from 
    the 
    poets 

    And 
    sometimes, 
    might 
    cross 
    the 
    line 

    I don't 
    know 
    the 
    answer 

    to 
    the 
    mystery 
    of 
    life 

    But 
    a wo
    man 
    sure 
    helps 
    pass 
    the 
    time 


    Verse 7
    When 
    was 
    young, 
    had 
    Gene 
    Autry guns 

    But 
    I never 
    had 
    a Lionel 
    train 

    Now 
    I've 
    got 
    a truck 
    if 

    I keep 
    payments 
    up 

    And 
    it 
    weighs 
    thirty 
    tons 
    in 
    the 
    rain 

    Verse 8
    When 
    was 
    young, 
    had 
    Gene 
    Autry guns 

    But 
    I never 
    had 
    a Lionel 
    train 

    Now 
    I've 
    got 
    a truck 
    if 

    I keep

    And 
    it weighs

    • 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

      Rose the Black Cat

      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 🙂

    • Secret weapon

      Brad

      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!!!

    • Very reliable tuner

      theNewPaul

      This is a great app! Very easy to use and very reliable, if you are just starting out, you can take a big worry off your mind, by getting in tune quickly and easily with this app. Highly recommended!

    • This is the best guitar tuner ever.

      Caleb Schafli

      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.

    • Great to tune and play

      Lynae T

      I love how easy it is to tune and find and play my favorite songs.
