               C
He’s pulling out for Reno
                G
He hopes a tire don’t blow
        D
Up near Albuquerque
                        G
He’ll fuel and get some coffee
                C
Cline’s Corners truck stop
                  G
A waitress with a wet mop
               D
Telling him to don’t walk
                    G
He tips his hat and don’t talk

CHORUS
                            C         D C
He knows it’s nothing but a good ride
                            G           C G
No there’s nothing there he can’t slide
                           D          C D
No there’s nothing that he won’t spin
                         G           C G
No there’s nothing to it do it again
                        C        D C
No it’s nothing but the big show
                           G        C G
No there’s nowhere that he won’t go
                   D        C D
No he never has to ask why
                            G   C G  G   C G
He knows it’s nothing but a good ride

                                  C
He says there’s something about a sunrise
          G
Waking up sleepy eyes
                                  D
He says there’s something about a highway
               G
Telling him he can’t stay
                                  C
He says there’s something about a long drive
                    G
That gives him some peace of mind
                              D
And there’s something that he can’t take
                    G
When he’s coming in second place

BREAK: C-G-D-G-C-G-D-G

                  C
And when it’s all over
                    G
He’ll move a little slower
                     D
He’ll back up to the trailer
                G
And look toward Oklahoma
                                 C
He’ll pull out right through the middle of town
                        G
And watch the sun start sinking down
                           D
Still just lighting up the road signs
                           G
Getting ready for the next time.
