🎸 Verse 1:
C               G            C
The year is two thousand and eighty
             G         C
And hardly a highway remains
F                        C     A7
Gone are the days of the diesel
    D                         G
And songs about wrecks in the rain
    C           G             C
The Macs and MacLeans have all rusted away
               G          C
The Harvesters rot in the sand
       F                       C            A7
And in a deserted truck stop sits Tennessee Thompson
    D                          G
The world's last truck drivin' man

🎸 Verse 2:
C             G            C
He lit up the world's last Lucky
                    G        C
Got his last cup of coffee refilled
        F                     C         A7
Then he stared at the sky for one final high
         D                         G
Took the world's last little white pill
        C             G           C
He said world you are losin' your truckers
                 G             C
And your suckers do not give a damn
       F                             C             A
You're freightin' in space and there just ain't no place
      D           G             C
For a hard ridin' truck drivin' man


🎸 Bridge:
    F            G             C
The world's last truck drivin' man
    F        G             C
His left arm is losin' its tan
    F             G             C           F
The rest all went broke and just went up in smoke
         C            G             C
He's the world's last truck drivin' man


🎸 Verse 3:
C                     G            C
Then he sat there and drank to old mem'ries
                     G          C
And Doreen sat there dryin' his tears
  F                         C              A7
Doreen was the world's last truck stoppin' waitress
    D                           G
She was weary and worn with the years
      C            G           C
So he put his last dime in the world's last jukebox
                  G            C
For the lady he'd loved for so long
    F                      C               A
And there in that deserted truck stop they danced
       D            G             C     D
To the world's last truck drivin' song


🎸 Verse 4:
D                    A            D
Then he climbed up inside his ol' semi
               A                 D
And Doreen she crawled up at his side
   G                       D            B
He shifted it down and the diesel's sad sound
     E                          A
Said this is your last homeward ride
      D            A    D
So he whispered 10-4 to her and the Lord
                  A             D
As the microphone fell from his hand
       G                       D         B7
And he came to the exit marked Tennessee Thompson
    E                          A
The world's last truck drivin' man


🎸 Verse 5:
       D            A                     D
He was high ballin' straight through them bright pearly gates
                   A           D
When behind in the dust of his rig
         G                    D        B7
Come the wailin' siren of ol' Smokey McKenzie
    E                       A
The world's last interstate pig
         D            A            D
Hear 'em roar see 'em fly past the clouds through the sky
                     A             D
On that highway that don't have an end
        G                      D         B7
But you know that's heaven for Tennessee Thompson
    E            A             D       D
The world's last truck drivin' man and Doreen
    E            A             D
The world's last truck drivin' man
