WHERE HIS WHEELS LEFT THE ROAD
ALECIA NUGENT
A LITTLE GIRL...A BIG FOUR-LANE
Tabbed By: Stoney

           A              E            A                 E
Where his wheels left the road, broken glass and twisted steel
          A            E           B7           E
Were the only traces left of that worn out Oldsmobile
         A                 E               A        E
Oh, the mist hung on that mountain like a winter overcoat
          A             E            B7              E
And the Deputies found him where his wheels left the road

        A                 E                  A             E
He had left the Diamond Horeshoe, drank that whiskey river dry
            A                E              B7           E
That's the tale the Sheriff told to his sister and his wife
           A                 E             A                 E
They could claim their Dear Beloved at the White Oak Funeral Home
        A             E                  B7              E
And the Deputy could show them where his wheels left the road

              B7                               A             F#m
Now they're bringing food and flowers to the kitchen of his home
      A               A              B7              E
They placed a little cross where his wheels left the road

But the truth will soon be buried, there's a secret no one knows
He was not out on that highway when his wheels left the road
It was back in that old bar room in the smoke and neon lights
He was dancing with a woman just before he crossed the line

In a room next to the Horseshoe, wedding ring down in his coat
He took her in his arms and his wheels left the road

Where his wheels left the road, broken glass and twisted steel
Were the only traces left of his worn out Oldsmobile
Oh, the mist hangs on that mountain like a winter overcoat
And the Deputies found him where his wheels left the roads
