E
Ah the stories I could tell
E
All the places I have seen
E
My engine block is covered in blood
E
And my veins are pumping gasoline
A
From Waxahachie to Rabbit Hash
A
I've felt that steel belt song
B7
And every exit looks the same
A E
I guess I've been on the road too long
I'm out for seven weeks this time
I can't remember where I've been
I'm always one day closer to home
Then I go right back out again
My wife is not the jealous kind
But she's singin' a sad sad song
I think I missed another Valentine's
I guess I've been on the road too long
Bridge:
A
The rows of corn are flashing by
E
The broken white lines too
F#
The bugs splatter, the CB chatters
B7 A
Nothin' matters more than getting back to you
E
Getting back to you
Guitar Solo
Think twice before you follow me
There's not a lotta glory on the road
It's safe and warm inside the van
But this Motel 6 is cold
Diner fries, diesel smoke
You won't be young for long
My brain is bent, my body broke
I guess I've been on the road too long
