Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[G][Gm][G][Gm][G][Gm][G][Bb][C]
[G]

[Verse 1]
[G]Passed a
little town about an hour ago
Somewhere in the desert
in New Mexico
Thinking about something
that my baby said
Stop and get me something
for my aching head
[C]Run into a truck stop,
parked by the tire shop
Kill about an hour or [G]so
Headed [D]down on the highway,
[C]trying to make a living on the [G]road
Heat waves coming out above my stacks
All pressure steady and my
coffee's black
Highway Patrol and the DOT
Not to even mention X, Y and Z
And go to [C]L .A., turn around,
come back to Cowtown,
drop off another heavy [G]load.

[Verse 2]
And then it's [D]out on the highway,
[C]trying to make a living on the [G]road.[C]
[G][C][D]
[G][Bb][C][G][Gm][G][Gm][G]
I don't need a road map, I know my way
I've been drivin' this
road both night and day
I ain't worried about places
that I've seen or been
I just want to see my baby again
When I'm [C]tired but I can't stop
Watch out for fallin' rocks
Speed's gonna hit your [G]soul
In any [D]town on the highway
trying to [C]make a living on the [G]road.
I'm standing [D]down on the highway
trying to [C]make a living on the [G]road.

[Outro 1]
[G][Bb][C]
