Em        C 
I'm broke down 
Em          C
On Spring Creek road
Em       C
Makes me wonder 
        D            G
Why I'm trying to go home

Em             C
But I left her behind
Em              C
I had things to do
Em                   C
Just a long distance phone call
   D          G
To say I miss you

Em             C
But I got your recorder
Em                 C 
The phone took my till
Em                    C
I'm a dime short of a cola
         D                  G
And this machine won't take bills

Em                C
So I sit down and wait
Em               C
Diesel smoke and noise
Em             C 
Ignore all the comments 
    D          G
Of a few local boys



Chorus:
Em           C                 D             G
I wish I was back home with my friends and a beer.
Em               C            D              G
At the Wormy Dog bar, There's none like it out here
Em               C          D            Bm
I'd give my last Dollar to back on the road
Em          C                   D                G
There's 200 miles behind me and too many more to go.
Em          C                   D                G
There's 200 miles behind me and too many more to go.



Theres a warm case of Pearl
In my back seat
But it ain't going to help 
Beat this highway heat

But the suns finally sinking
Gives me a hand
I don't ask for much
I guess you take what you can

The truckers keep on rollin
Wish this car was my ????????? (not sure about this line)
I leave the keys in it
And climb in the cab

I got oil on my hands
And grease in my hair
I'm stuck out here singing
This Roadside Prayer

Repeat Chorus: 




I've only been playing about 6 months and this is the very first song I tried 
to do.... So try not to yell at me, too much. But please let me know how I did.
