       [E]
Ah the stories I could tell
        [E]
All the places I have seen
   [E]
My engine block is covered in blood
       [E]
And my veins are pumping gasoline
[A]
[A]
I've felt that steel belt song
    [B7]
And every exit looks the same
  [A]                               [E]
I guess I've been on the road too long 


I'm out for seven weeks this time
I can't remember where I've been
I'm always one day closer to home
Then I go right back out again
My wife is not the jealous kind
But she's singin' a sad sad song
I think I missed another Valentine's
I guess I've been on the road too long 


Bridge:
    [A]
The rows of corn are flashing by
    [E]
The broken white lines too
    [F#]
The bugs splatter, the CB chatters
[B7]                                        [A]
Nothin' matters more than getting back to you 
                [E]
Getting back to you


Guitar Solo


Think twice before you follow me
There's not a lotta glory on the road
It's safe and warm inside the van
But this Motel 6 is cold
Diner fries, diesel smoke
You won't be young for long
My brain is bent, my body broke
I guess I've been on the road too long
