[Intro]
[G] [D] [C] [G] [D] [C]
[Verse – 1]
[G]I got her letter in a [D]little mailbox
[C]I forgot at I had at an old truck stop
And I [G]read it once and [D]read it again
[C]I could hardly keep from cryin
[Verse – 2]
I’ve [G]been driving around the [D]last week or so
With [C]and empty truck I don’t have a load
I [G]don’t care cause to tell [D]you the truth
[C]I think I might be dyin
[Chorus]
And it’s [G]trucker speed, [D]benzedrine
[C]Percocets and amphetamines
[G]Black beautys and [D]west coast turn [C]arounds
[G]When the coast is clear I [D]drive with my knees
[C]I mix it all up in a recipe
[G]Coca-cola and [D]coffee to wash it [C]down
[G]Sometimes I feel like my [D]wheels ain’t touching the [C]ground
[Verse – 3]
At the [G]side of the road he [D]said you’re a mess
When I [C]told him she didn’t leave an address
Then [G]he got another call said [D]wait right here
I’ll [C]be back in a little while
[Verse – 4]
I [G]put my head [D]across my arms
[C]Slept on the wheel for an hour or more
And [G]I started it up and [D]took off
[C]into the night
[Chorus]
And it’s [G]trucker speed, [D]benzedrine
[C]Percocets and amphetamines
[G]Black beautys and [D]west coast turn [C]arounds
[G]When the coast is clear I [D]drive with my knees
[C]I mix it all up in a recipe
[G]Coca-cola and [D]coffee to wash it [C]down
[G]Sometimes I feel like my [D]wheels ain’t touching the [C]ground

[Verse – 5]
I’ve been [G]high-centered and [D]low throttle
When [C]I couldn’t stop I peed in a bottle
I’ve [G]been so lonesome I made [D]Hank Willaims
Look [C]like a party of five
[Verse – 6]
I’ve been [G]beat up [D]broke down
[C]Load it on a truck and drive it to town
I [G]always thought you’d be [D]there at the end

I [G]always thought you’d be [D]there at the end
of [C]the line
