Trucker Speed chords by Fred Eaglesmith
Verse 1
G
D
I got her letter in an old mail box
C
I forgot I had at a little truck stop
G
D
And I read it once and then I read it again
C
I could hardly keep from cryin'
G
D
I've been drivin' around the last week or so
C
With an empty truck, I don't have a load
G
D
And I don't care cause to tell you the truth
C
I think I might be dying
Chorus 1
G
D
And it's trucker speed, Benzedrine
C
Percocets, amphetamines
G
D
Black beauties and west coast
C
turnarounds
G
D
When the coast is clear I drive with my knees
C
I mix it all up like a recipe
G
D
Coca-Cola and coffee
C
to wash it down
G
D
Sometimes I feel like my wheels
C
ain't touchin' the ground
Verse 2
G
D
At the side of the road he said you're a mess
C
When I told him she didn't leave an address
G
D
Then he got another call said wait right here
C
I'll be back in a little while
G
D
I put my head across my arms
C
Slept on the wheel for an hour or more
G
D
And I started it up and took off
C
into the night
Chorus 2
G
D
And it's trucker speed, Benzedrine

When the coast is clear I drive with my knees

I mix it all up like a recipe

ain't touchin' the ground

C
Verse 3
G
D
I've been high-centered, low throttle
C
When I couldn't stop I peed in a bottle
G
D
I've been so lonesome I made Hank Williams
C
Look like a party of five
G
D
I've been beat up, broke down
C
Loaded on a truck and driven into town
G
D
I always thought she'd be there
C
at the end of the line
G
D
I always thought she'd be there
C
at the end of the line

ain't touchin' the ground
