  			                    G 
I been pushin? that diesel since early dawn 
 
               G                           
I ain't had no sleep boys, I don't know how long 
 
              C                        G 
A whole lotta trouble just makin' them curves 
 
                    G        D                     G  
Now I need a little something to try and settle my nerves 
 
 
 
Chorus: 
              C 
So hey little waitress, make my coffee strong 
 
           C                              D 
I'd like a king size filter and a country song 
 
              G 
A few pots of coffee to kinda pick me up 
 
          G                        D        G 
Caffeine, Nicotine, and Benzedrine, wish me luck 
 
 
 
Well I was rollin down the highway with heavy eyes 
I saw a lit up billboard that had to advertise 
Everything for the trucker, lots of parking space 
And a sign out front that says ?Boys this is the place 
 
Chorus 
 
 
Slide Capo to 2 (up ½ step) ? same chords 
 
 
Well I got hungover, I left Chicago late 
I got a big boss man boy that just don't like to wait 
in the mornin', I got to burn the wind 
And I ain't gonna make it, son, by the shape I'm in 
 
 
Chorus 
 
 
Caffeine, Nicotine, and Benzedrine and wish me luck
