Song is played with drop D tuning - you can ignore this but it does make playing the
proper bass lines much harder.

Verse

  Bm         A                      G             D/F#
I spent last night in the arms of a girl in Louisiana
A                         D           G                       A
And though I'm out on the highway, my thoughts are still with her
Bm                   A           G           D/F#
 Such a strange combination of a woman and a child
A                 D                G                 A
Such a strange situation, stoppin' every hundred miles
              D

Verse

  Bm     A               G                      D/F#
A replay of last night's events roll through my mind
A        D              G                  A
Except a scene or two, erased by sweet red wine
Bm          A                G                D/F#
And I see a truck stop sign ahead so I change lanes
A               D            G            A
I need a cup of coffee and a cup o' loose change
              D
