Key: D Intro: D C G C D C G C D C G C D C G C D Verse 1: D With eight hundred pounds on eighteen wheels C After eight hundred miles, you know how it feels G C D To have your rear so numb you gotta poke it to see if it's still there D Well, it's one more load to one more town C Problem is they're all starting to sound G C D A bit similar, and Lord knows they all look the same D So I got some hot coffee in Furnace Creek C But the trouble is I was never neat G C D And I spilled it and my map and phonebook were a blur D But I had a girl and a job to do C Or was that job and a girl to do?

G C D Well anyways, after several days I don't know what or if it mattered D Just a load of cedar to Plasterville C Or was that a load of plaster to Cedarville? G C D Or a container full of things up to Diamond Springs for an indoor swap meet D Was that a cargo of hay south to Northfork C Or some plastic forks north to Hayfork? G C D Or a bunch of men's nugget watches straight through to Pixley? D Haulin' Apple Jacks down to Fall River Mills C Or honor snacks up to Downieville G C Well, the white girls are cute that I've met in Black Butte D But I'll stick to the road and finish my beer and coffee Chorus: G C G I think I got a girl named Mary down in Susanville C D Waitin' for me to come home and make her my wife G C G Em I know I got a load of somethin' goin' to Somewhereville G C G But I can't remember which to save my life [Guitar Solo] D C G C D C G C D Chorus: G C G Well, I think I got a girl named Mary down in Susanville C D Waitin' for me to come home and make her my wife G C G Em I know I got a load of somethin' goin' to Somewhereville G C G But I can't remember which to save my life [Interlude] D C G C D C G C D Verse 3: D Now I'm marrying Jane from Susanville C Or am I suing Jane from Marysville? G C D If I am I better call Ernie, my attorney from Burney Falls D Well, all I know, if I recall C She had the longest legs and she was kinda tall G C D And prettier than a catfish with its nose up against the dam D Without a girl and some time to kill C I ran some baby food up to Gerberville G C Took some airplane parts to Wilbur in Oroville D Now that can't be Wright D Well, it's one more load one more town C Only problem is they're all startin' to sound G C D A bit similar, Lord knows they all look the same Chorus: G C G Well, I think I got a girl named Mary down in Susanville C D Waitin' for me to come home and make her my wife G C G Em I know I got a load of somethin' goin' to Somewhereville G C G But I can't remember which to save my life G C G Well, I think I got a girl named Mary down in Susanville C D Waitin' for me to come home and make her my wife G C G Em I know I got a load of somethin' goin' to Somewhereville G C G But I can't remember which to save my life Outro: C G I can't remember which to save my life C G I can't remember which to save my life C G I can't remember which to save my life
