    Verse 1
    They 
    come 
    in 
    them big 
    ten 
    wheelers, 

    rollin' 
    down the 
    highway 

    from 
    Illinois 
    and 
    Neb
    raska 
    and 
    Oregon, 

    too. 

    Carryin' 
    apples 
    and 
    automobiles 

    to 
    California, 
    mostly. 

    Down 
    from the 
    mountains 
    to 

    where there's 
    sun. 

    Every 
    one 
    of them's 
    the son 
    of a 
    gun. 

    A 
    loner 
    liv
    ing 
    out 
    of the back 
    of 
    his cab, 


    turning 
    on 
    his smile 

    for 
    the waitress 

    at the 
    next 
    truck 
    stop. 

    Outside 
    wind 
    is 
    singing, 

    slow 
    down 
    baby, 

    you're 
    al
    most 
    there. 

    Around 
    the 
    bend 
    there's 
    a 

    truck 
    stop 
    waiting, 

    maybe 
    the 
    Golden 
    Gate, 

    with 
    seagulls 
    in 
    her 
    hair. 

    Their 
    names 
    are 
    Thompson 
    and 
    Black 

    and 
    Drellsford, 
    Lucky 
    Jim. 

    Some 
    of them 
    got 
    badges 

    on 
    big 
    silver 
    belt 
    buckles 

    that 
    say 
    Dare
    devil 
    or 
    Kansas 

    City 
    or 
    Freewheeler. 

    They're 
    all 
    freewheeler
    s, 

    lovin' 
    off 
    the land, 

    sleepin' 
    in 
    the cabs 
    of their 
    trucks, 

    curled 
    up 
    there in 
    the boot, 

    dreamin' 
    them
    selves in 

    other 
    places. 

    Meanwhile, 

    the world 
    drives 
    by 
    on the 
    highway, 

    and 
    every 
    breakfast 

    is 
    a brand 
    -new breakfast 
    table 

    at 
    the truck 
    stop 
    up 
    the road. 

    the 
    wind 
    is 
    singing, 

    slow 
    down 
    baby, 

    you're 
    almost 
    there. 

    Round 
    the 
    bend 
    there's 

    a truck 
    stop 
    waiting, 

    maybe 
    the 
    golden 
    day, 

    with 
    seagulls 
    in 
    her 
    hair. 

    Sometimes 
    you 
    see 
    them 

    kick
    ing 
    at their 
    tires 

    along 
    the 
    highway, 

    or 
    hogging 
    the road 
    from 

    from some 
    dude 

    who tried 
    to pass 
    him 
    on a 
    hill. 

    They 
    don't 
    talk 
    much. 

    They're 
    friendlier 
    to strangers 

    and 
    to their 
    own. 

    You 
    get them 
    talking, 
    though, 

    and that's 
    something 
    else. 

    They 
    tell 
    you about 
    women 

    they've 
    never 
    been with, 

    towns 
    they 
    ain't 
    never 
    seen. 

    Don't 
    argue 
    with 
    them, 

    let 
    them talk. 

    They're 
    mean 
    as 
    beavers. 

    But 
    they're easy, 
    too. 

    You 
    ask 
    one of 
    them waitresses 

    at 
    one of them 
    truck 
    stops, 

    she'll 
    tell 
    you. 

    Outside 
    the 
    wind 
    is 
    singing 

    Slow 
    down, 
    baby, 

    you're 
    almost 
    there 

    Round 
    the 
    bend 
    there's 
    a truck
    , 

    stop 
    waitin' 

    Maybe 
    the 
    Golden 
    Gate 

    with 
    seagulls 
    in 
    her 
    hair 

    Outside 
    the 
    wind 
    is 
    singing 

    Slow 
    down, 
    baby, 

    you're 
    almost 
    there 

    Round 
    the 
    bend 
    there's 

    a truck 
    stop
    ping 

    Maybe 
    the 
    golden 
    gay 

    With 
    seagulls 
    in 
    her 
    hair

      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.
