AOut with the truckers and the A7kickers and the cowboy Dangels
And a Agood saloon in A7every single Dtown
Oh and DI remembered Esomething you once Atold me
And DI'll be damned if Eit did not come Atrue
DTwenty thousand Eroads I went Adown, C#mdown, F#mdown
And Dthey all led me Estraight back home to Ayou
`Cause I C#mheaded West to Dgrow up Ewith the Acountry
AF#mcross those prairies Ewith those waves of Agrain
And I C#msaw my devil, and I Dsaw my Edeep blue Asea
And I Dthought about a calico Ebonnet from DCheyenne to ETenneAssee
We flew stAraight across that Driver Abridge, last night Ehalf past Atwo
ASwitchman wave his lantern goodDbye and good Aday as Bwe went rolling Ethrough
ABillboards and truck stops A7pass by the grievous Dangel
And Anow I know just E7what I have to Ado
[SOLO/INSTRUMENTAL]
And the C#mman on the radDio won't Eleave me aAlone
He wants to F#mtake my money for Esomething that I've never been Ashown
And I C#msaw my devil, and I Dsaw my Edeep blue Asea
And I Dthought about a calico Ebonnet from DCheyenne to ETenneAssee
The Anews I could bring I met Dup with the Aking
On his head an aEmphetamine Acrown
He Atalked about unbuckling that Dold bible Abelt
And lighted Bout for some desert Etown
AOut with the truckers and the A7kickers and the cowboy Dangels
And a Agood saloon in A7every single Dtown
Oh but DI remembered Esomething you once Atold me
And DI'll be damned if Eit did not come Atrue
DTwenty thousand Eroads I went Adown, C#mdown, F#mdown
