A 
42 more miles  
 
This stuff it cramps my style 
          D         E              A 
Broke down on the side of the road 
A thousand flies a buzzin' 
Sittin' spittin' and cussin' 
   D         E            A 
Sittin' on top of our load 
 
(chorus) 
       C#m     D          A 
If I ever get out of the hole 
       C#m      D        E 
If I ever get down the road 
        E 
I got 42 miles to go 
 
5:30 in the evening 
Mechanic phone's a ringin' 
Is he ever gonna fix our ride 
You know I ain't bitchin', but bad new is all we're getting 
Just need a little luck on our side 
 
(repeat chorus) 
 
that fire siren screamin' 
Still I'm not believin' 
That much goes on in the town 
You know if I had the chance I'd do a chicken dance 
After I watched it burn to the ground 
 
(repeat chorus)
