Verse 1:
     E                      A
In a flat Forty-One with my Strat by the door
       Dsus4        D
We was goin' to the country
                 E
For what we came for
                                            A
I'm sure you've smelled the trees in the air

The best of motor cruises
                    E
Just the joy to get there

  E
I was approaching Simonton
     A
Down by the cotton gin
Dsus4             D
There was old man Berkman

Trying to flag me in
E
He asked if I would stay a while
    A
And if I needed gas
  Dsus4            D
I said, "No thanks anyhow
                  E
I don't drive too fast"

I took the road down the Cinco

Through that red Brazos River land
E                             A
  Done hit that freeway at sunset

Now the big city lights are at hand
