Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[Am]I stopped late one
night at this truck stop
And there was one stool left next to [Em]him
[G]He didn't even wait till I'd
[D]ordered to [Am]begin[Asus4]
That was [Am]some kind of pull
-up from Raleigh
Wasn't sure my rig would
get me this [Em]far
After driv[G]ing this long
you're just glad [D]you are where
you [Am]are[Asus4][Am]
Well, first I didn't feel much like listening
[D]I w[Am]as hungry and running b[Em]ehind
By the [G]time the waitress
brought me my coffee,
[D]I didn't min[Am]d
He said, there's [D]many good men
who [Am]have gone now
[Asus4]Like Harris [D]and
him and [Am]his friends
[C]All three [D]of [C]them were
lifelong [D]company men
As for [Am]me, I j[F]ust keep moving
[Esus4]around[Em][Am]
He sat for a while without talking
[D]It [Am]was early now rather than late[Em]
He spoke [G]after using his toast
[D]to clean [Asus4]his plate[D]
[Am][Asus4][D][Am]
I've got one who's just no good at all
[Em]Me, [G]I'm somewhere in the middle,
[D]call it a dra[Am]w[Asus4]
[Am]My wife [D]and I met in the s[Am]ervice
How she's [D]held on this long,
I [Am]don't know
After 35 [C]years, she says [D]she still isn't sure
But I [F]bet I'd choose her on [Am]the road

[Verse 2]
He [Am]paused and said, son, where you headed
I told him my plans and he smiled
[Em]He said you'll f[G]ind you really don't
need a reas[D]on after a [Am]while
He left as I finished my coffee
He went without saying goodbye
[Em]And I stil[G]l recall this conv[D]ersation,
not sure [Am]why[Asus4]
You
