🤠 Verse 1:
E MajorE     E MajorE       A augmentedA      A augmentedA
Peterbilt drivers don't pick up low riders
      BB      BB       E MajorE   E MajorE
They don't slow for the curves in the road
   E MajorE      E MajorE        A augmentedA     A augmentedA
They hate to keep logs, they hate riders on hogs
   BB     BB       E MajorE   E MajorE
Watch out for a shift in your load

🤠 Chorus:
E MajorE     E MajorE      A augmentedA     A augmentedA
When I was young
I had Gene Autry guns
   BB      BB   E MajorE   E MajorE
But I never had a Lionel train
  E MajorE     E MajorE      A augmentedA       A augmentedA
Now I've got a truck, if I keep payments up
    BB       BB      E MajorE   E MajorE
And it weighs thirty tons in the rain


🤠 Verse 2:
    E MajorE   E MajorE     A augmentedA    A augmentedA
I wear Frisco jeans with riveted seams
  BB    BB       E MajorE   E MajorE
My money is chained to my belt
 E MajorE     E MajorE  A augmentedA      A augmentedA
I wear a Cat cap just like my pap
  BB       BB     E MajorE   E MajorE
He drove till it ruined his health
   E MajorE       E MajorE        A augmentedA      A augmentedA
Now
Georgia Bill Smith wore thick glasses and boots
     BB      BB        E MajorE   E MajorE
He could see about as far as he could walk
  E MajorE      E MajorE      A augmentedA     A augmentedA
He came up too fast on that bridge overpass
     BB       BB      E MajorE   E MajorE
Lord, the preacher sure gave a fine talk

🤠 Chorus:
E MajorE     E MajorE      A augmentedA     A augmentedA
When I was young
I had Gene Autry guns
   BB      BB   E MajorE   E MajorE
But I never had a Lionel train
  E MajorE     E MajorE      A augmentedA       A augmentedA
Now I've got a truck, if I keep payments up
    BB       BB      E MajorE   E MajorE
And it weighs thirty tons in the rain

   E MajorE     E MajorE       A augmentedA   A augmentedA
I've read a few lines from the poets
  BB      BB        E MajorE   E MajorE
And sometimes
I might cross the line
 E MajorE       E MajorE       A augmentedA     A augmentedA
I don't know the answer to the mystery of life
   BB     BB       E MajorE   E MajorE
But a woman sure helps pass the time


🤠 Chorus:
E MajorE     E MajorE      A augmentedA     A augmentedA
When I was young
I had Gene Autry guns
   BB      BB   E MajorE   E MajorE
But I never had a Lionel train
  E MajorE     E MajorE      A augmentedA       A augmentedA
Now I've got a truck, if I keep payments up
    BB       BB      E MajorE   E MajorE
And it weighs thirty tons in the rain
E MajorE     E MajorE      A augmentedA     A augmentedA
When I was young
I had Gene Autry guns
   BB      BB   E MajorE   E MajorE
But I never had a Lionel train
  E MajorE     E MajorE      A augmentedA       A augmentedA
Now I've got a truck, if I keep payments up
    BB       BB      E MajorE   E MajorE
And it weighs thirty tons in the rain
