Original: capo on 7


Verse 1:

        A
There's ice and snow on the northern roads
        E
And the Jersey Pike is closed
D                      E       A
Have to go and do some drivin' tonight
     A                            E
They say I'd be a fool if I would ride those icy roads
      D                  E           A
But a little storm ain't stoppin' me tonight

Chorus:

          D
I'm gonna wear out the turnpike
A
Rack up those miles
E                            D           A
Keep this rig a rollin', I'm in it every mile
       D
'Cause she's in Oklahoma and
A
I'm up in Maine
   E             D                       A
So diesel sing a song that will bring me home
               E
Doodle doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo
D              A
Doodle doo doo doo


Verse 2:

          A
There's a red light turnin' behind me
          E
There's a trooper on my tail
      D                   E                A
I can tell I won't get to New York town on time
      A
If he decides to pull me over
          E
And if he get's me on the scale
          D              E              A
I'm gonna have to tell a tale or take a fine


Chorus:

          D
I'm gonna wear out the turnpike
A
Rack up those miles
E                            D           A
Keep this rig a rollin', I'm in it every mile
       D
'Cause she's in Oklahoma and
A
I'm up in Maine
   E             D                       A
So diesel sing a song that will bring me home
               E
Doodle doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo
D              A
Doodle doo doo doo


Verse 3:

         A
With the snow against my windshield
       E
I will run on through the night
            D           E              A
There's not stoppin' me once I hit the road
          A
Cause the turnpike's like my second home
      E
And I know it like my hand
   D             E                     A
So diesel sing a song that'll bring me home


Chorus:

          D
I'm gonna wear out the turnpike
A
Rack up those miles
E                            D           A
Keep this rig a rollin', I'm in it every mile
       D
'Cause she's in Oklahoma and
A
I'm up in Maine
   E             D                       A
So diesel sing a song that will bring me home
               E
Doodle doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo
D              A
