Em C D 
Em C D 
 
Em        C  
I'm broke down  
Em          C 
On Spring Creek road 
Em       C 
Makes me wonder  
        D            G 
Why I'm trying to go home 
 
Em             C 
But I left her behind 
Em              C 
I had things to do 
Em                   C 
Just a long distance phone call 
   D          G 
To say I miss you 
 
Em             C 
But I got your recorder 
Em                 C  
The phone took my till 
Em                    C 
I'm a dime short of a cola 
         D                  G 
And this machine won't take bills 
 
Em                C 
So I sit down and wait 
Em               C 
Diesel smoke and noise 
Em             C  
Ignore all the comments  
    D          G 
Of a few local boys 
 
 
Em           C                 D             G 
I wish I was back home with my friends and a beer. 
Em               C            D              G 
At the Wormy Dog bar, There's none like it out here 
Em               C          D            Bm 
I'd give my last Dollar to back on the road 
Em          C                   D                G 
There's 200 miles behind me and too many more to go. 
Em          C                   D                G 
There's 200 miles behind me and too many more to go. 
 
 
 
Theres a warm case of Pearl 
In my back seat 
But it ain't going to help  
Beat this highway heat 
 
But the suns finally sinking 
Gives me a hand 
I don't ask for much 
I guess you take what you can 
 
The truckers keep on rollin 
Wish this car was my ????????? (not sure about this line) 
I leave the keys in it 
And climb in the cab 
 
I got oil on my hands 
And grease in my hair 
I'm stuck out here singing 
This Roadside Prayer 
 
Repeat Chorus:  
 
 
 
 
I've only been playing about 6 months and this is the very first song I tried  
to do.... So try not to yell at me, too much. But please let me know how I did.
