 G                        D
I got her letter in a little mail box
C
I forgot at I had at an old truck stop
      G                D
And I read it once and read it again
C
I could hardly keep from cryin

         G                       D
I've been driving around the last week or so
        C
With and empty truck I don't have a load
   G                       D
I don't care cause to tell you the truth
C
I think I might be dyin

         G              D
And it's trucker speed, benzedrine
C
Percocets and amphetamines
G                 D                C
Black beautys and west coast turn arounds
G                         D
When the coast is clear I drive with my knees
C
I mix it all up in a recipe
G              D                C
Coca-cola and coffee to wash it down
G                         D                         C
Sometimes I feel like my wheels ain't touching the ground

       G                       D
At the side of the road he said you're a mess
       C
When I told him she didn't leave an address
       G                       D
Then he got another call said wait right here
       C
I'll be back in a little while

   G           D
I put my head across my arms
 C
Slept on the wheel for an hour or more
    G                   D
And I started it up and took off
    C
into the night

         G              D
And it's trucker speed, benzedrine
C
Percocets and amphetamines
G                 D                C
Black beautys and west coast turn arounds
G                         D

G                         D                         C
Sometimes I feel like my wheels ain't touching the ground
G                         D                         C

            G                D
I've been high-centered and low throttle
     C
When I couldn't stop I peed in a bottle
         G                      D
I've been so lonesome I made Hank Willaims
       C
Look like a party of five

          G         D
I've been beat up broke down
C
Load it on a truck and drive it to town
    G                      D
I always thought you'd be there at the end
      C
of the line
   G                      D
