E

Ah the stories I could tell

E

All the places I have seen

E

My engine block is covered in blood

E

And my veins are pumping gasoline

A

From Waxahachie to Rabbit Hash

A

I've felt that steel belt song

B7

And every exit looks the same

A E

I guess I've been on the road too long

I'm out for seven weeks this time

I can't remember where I've been

I'm always one day closer to home

Then I go right back out again

My wife is not the jealous kind

But she's singin' a sad sad song

I think I missed another Valentine's

I guess I've been on the road too long

Bridge:

A

The rows of corn are flashing by

E

The broken white lines too

F#

The bugs splatter, the CB chatters

B7 A

Nothin' matters more than getting back to you

E

Getting back to you

Guitar Solo

Think twice before you follow me

There's not a lotta glory on the road

It's safe and warm inside the van

But this Motel 6 is cold

Diner fries, diesel smoke

You won't be young for long

My brain is bent, my body broke

I guess I've been on the road too long

Repeat 1st Verse
