Capo on 2

Intro:
D D D G
           D
I'm gonna give 'em that 2, 4, 4 on the floor, like an outlaws boys on the day before

Got the pretty girls out there beggin' for more, gotta give em all what they came here for
D7
Doin' my thing singin' my song, right on track I'm chuggin' along
                                                   G           D
I'm here and gone like yesterday, rollin' like an  old freight train

D D D

Verse:
D                                       G   F     D
On a wing and a prayer and a glorified grey hound bus

Flying down the road runnin' 9-0 and kicking up dust
F        G
Drinkin' truck stop coffee, countin' birds on those telephone wires
    F        D
Burn-in' the midnight oil and the tread off these old goodyear tires

Chorus:
                       D
I'm gonna give 'em that 2, 4, 4 on the floor, like an outlaws boys on the day before

Got the pretty girls out there beggin' for more, gotta give em all what they came here for
D7
Doin' my thing singing' my song, right on track I'm chuggin' along
                                                  G           D
I'm here and gone like yesterday, rollin' like an old freight train

Verse:
          Bm                 G                D
And some- Times my mind is a million miles away
              Bm              G                      D
I know you're sound asleep at home while I'm on this stage
       Em                          G                  D
And I'm missin' you, wishin' I was kissin' you everyday
                       Em       G
But girl, I gotta keep rollin', rollin' like an old freight train

G G Bm Bm A A D D
G G Bm Bm A A A A

          Em                    F            G                  D
And its a mighty lonesome sound when there's not soul around to help you ease your pain
                   D        G                           D
But you gotta keep rollin', rollin' like an old freight train

Verse:
                       D
I'm gonna give em that 2, 4, 4 on the floor, like an outlaws boys on the day before

Got the pretty girls out there beggin' for more, gotta give em all what they came here for
D7
Doin' my thing singin' my song, right on track I'm chuggin' along
                                                  G           D
I'm here and gone like yesterday, rollin' like an old freight train comin' on down the line
D
Feel that diesel engine whine, smell the smoke stack, hear the gears grind
D
Full steam ahead halfway out of my mind, I'm too far gone to be turnin' back

Goin' clickity clack down the railroad tracks
                                                  G           D
I'm here and gone like yesterday, rollin' like an old freight train
             G           D                           G    F    D
Just like an old freight train, tell me do you wanna ride this train
