G C D G

(G)Sittin here wishin and thinkin and prayin
(C)Wonderin what them folks are sayin
‘Bout(G)me and what I’m doin(D)here
Yeah they’re(G)lookin like I’m gonna steal their stuff
(C)Brother I tell you I got enough
Just a(G)bag o’clothes a(D)tent and a case of(G)beer

(G)Well this one ol' boy looks like a roadie from Skynrd
(C)Suckin down his chickin dinner
He’s got a(G)rebel flag right there on his(D)grill
And there’s(G)another one I swear looks just like Hank
(C)Stopped in here to gas his tank
Buy a(G)pack of smokes and(D)pop a couple(G)pills

Chorus

Who needs(C)TV when you got a(G)truck stop
Who needs(D)movies when you’ve got the(G)road
Who needs(C)MasterCard hell you got a(G)visa
And who needs to(D)fix it if it ain’t(G)broke

C D G

Yeah northbound Cadillac neon lights
Driven by a man you couldn’t pay me to fight
I swear Ive never seen a zombie until now
Lord he looks like he’s been up for days
Swervin through the asphalt haze
And right now id be nervous if I was a cow

And this one ol' woman with a wagon full o kids
She looked like she just hit the skids
She left his ass this time she ain’t goin back
Yeah she gonna drop the children off at mama’s
She already got ‘em in their pajamas
And a sugar daddy waitin in a Cadillac

Chorus

This one ol' boy stopped to use the phone
To tell his woman he’d soon be home
If the highway patrol would let him put the hammer down
And he asked if his huntin dogs were alright
And he just might make it home tonight
The CB says its clear for four more towns

Well I been sittin here four or five hours
I blew a rod doin sixty miles an hour
Seems like Detroit ain’t makin ‘em like they did
I’m glad there’s all this stuff to see
If it weren’t for them it’d just be me
And I do believe I would’ve flipped my lid

Chorus
