 A
I've got enemies I respect 


And I've got friends that I can't stand

                   
A pile a bills at home but I keep workin for the man

     D
Now I'm headed westbound out on I-10

                                            A
This big rig's got the wind and I'm headed home

   E
And I tell her she's on my mind

                                                A
I pop the clutch and I feel it whine so I let it go


Chorus:

       A                     
Now it hits me like a hammer, last night's alabama slammer

                                         D
And my head revs like an engine gearing down

      E
Now my left hand's on the wheel

         E                                         A
While my right hand's steady still as I roll one up

         E
And all my friends say take it easy

      E                      A
But I take it any way that I can





I pump the pedal twice for a break-check

I let the air horn fly at the rednecks

Who are rollin out the bar at 10 past 2

Now I'm lit like a roman candle

And 420 is my handle

And I'm poppin that go-fast, 

Cause it makes me fly


Chorus


Now I'm lit like a roman candle

And 420 is my handle

And I'm poppin that go-fast

Cause it makes me fly

And all my friends say take it easy

But I take it any way that I can
