Break/Spoken:
A
I would like to explain to you the American Road Map
 A
Just in case you ever wake up at a cross roads

And you don't know where you're at

     A
You see it starts at the bottom and goes by 10s
A
I-10 goes across the top of Mexico
 A
All the way up to 90

Right there under Canada

The medicine line

      A
From California to the east coast it goes by 5's

So if you wake up at intersection of 40 and 55
 A
You're right there in the middle

As Levon Helm used to say
 A
Memphis
       A    A
Tennessee


Verse:
 A
Everything is working for a moment in time
 A
Couldn't hit a bad note even if you tried
 A
House is happy we got one more song
         A
You get paid, break it down, pack it up, get gone

G                      A
 It's gonna be a Long night

Gotta get 'em dancing make 'em stick around

It's harder than you think outside a two step town


Verse:
        A
Then a hundred miles later

In a headlight dream
         A
Playing frogger with the truckers

And trying to keep it clean


G                      A
 It's gonna be a Long night
G                            A

G                     A
  So keep your radio dial stuck
G                           A
 On the best radio station you can find
G                                A
Keep it at windshield wiper speed
                           G
Keep it between the ditches

        A
And if you still got an antennae
            G
You listen real close
        A
To the wind out the window

         G
You can still hear
     A
The Wolf Man
        G
Of Del Rio


Outro:
    A    G
Ah-ooooooooo
    A
Ah-oooooo
    G          A
Ah-oooo-ooooo-oooo
