Wind it up accelerate it 
 E                     D          A 
Another 100 miles in a dead man's shoes 
E        D          A  
Gasoline I smell it burning 
E                        D          A 
White line fever and the interstate blues 
 
 
Two lanes that keep on running  
I don't look back cause there's nothing to lose 
Highway on to forever 
You gotta keep going, gotta pay them dues 
 
 
Bridge: 
A              G 
Half alive and left for dead 
A              G    
Then you do it all again 
 
Wind it up accelerate it 
Another 100 miles in a dead man's shoes 
Gasoline, I smell it burning 
White line fever and the interstate blues

I smell gasoline 
Wind it up!

Another 100 miles in a dead man's shoes 
Gasoline, I smell it burning 
White line fever and the interstate blues
