♫ Verse 1:
  G                    D
I got her letter in an old mail box
     C
I forgot I had at a little truck stop
G                   D
  I read it once, I read it again
        C  N.C.                  C
I could hardly keep from cryin'

          G                       D
I've been drivin' around the last week or so
        C
With an empty truck, I don't have a load
G                       D
  I don't care cause to tell you the truth
  C   N.C.                C  G  C
I think I might be dying

And it's   trucker speed
Benzedrine

  Black beauties and west coast turnarounds
         G                D
When the coast is clear I drive with my knees
  C
I mix it all up in a recipe
G               D                C     G C D
  Coca-Cola and coffee to wash it down
        G                    D                         C      G  C  D

♫ Verse 2:
       G                   D
By the side of the road he said you're a mess
       C
When I told him that she didn't leave an address
        G                         D
Then he got another call, he said wait right here
        C
I'll be back in a little while

G                  D
  I threw my head across my arms
      C
Slept over the wheel for an hour more
      G               D                  C     G  C
And I fired it up and drove off into the night

And it's   trucker speed

When the coast is clear I drive with my knees

♫ Verse 3:
          G                D
I've been   high-centered
low throttle
     C
When I couldn't stop I pissed in a bottle
          G                  D
I've been   so lonesome made Hank Williams
C N.C.
Look like a party of five

          G          D
I've been   beat up
broke down
C
Loaded on a truck and driven into town
      G                         D                       C   G  C  D
But I   always thought she'd be there at the end of the line
      G                       D                       C   G  C
