Verse 1
G
Passed a
little town about an hour ago
Somewhere in the desert
in New Mexico
Thinking about something
that my baby said
Stop and get me something
for my aching head
C
Run into a truck stop,
parked by the tire shop
G
Kill about an hour or so
D
Headed down on the highway,
C
G
trying to make a living on the road
Heat waves coming out above my stacks
All pressure steady and my
coffee's black
Highway Patrol and the DOT
Not to even mention X, Y and Z
C
And go to L .A., turn around,
come back to Cowtown,
G
drop off another heavy load.

G
I don't need a road map, I know my way
I've been drivin' this
road both night and day
I ain't worried about places
that I've seen or been
I just want to see my baby again
C
When I'm tired but I can't stop
Watch out for fallin' rocks
G
Speed's gonna hit your soul
D
In any town on the highway
C
G
trying to make a living on the road.
D
I'm standing down on the highway
C
G
trying to make a living on the road.
