Intro: (D)  (D) 
(D) Mile marker 203 
The (Bm) gas gauge leanin' on the edge of 'E' 
(G) And I'll be danged if the rain ain't pourin' (D) down (A) 
(D) Something's smokin' underneath the hood 
There's a (Bm) bangin' and a clangin' and it cant be good 
(G) And it's another 50 miles to the nearest (D) town 
(F#m) Everything I own's in the back in a Hefty (Bm) bag 
I'm (F#m) out of cigarettes and I'm down to my last (G) drag  
 	 (D) I'd sure hate to break down here 
 	 (G) Nothin' up ahead or in the rearview mirror 
 	 (A) Out in the middle of nowhere knowin' 
 	 (G) I'm in trouble if these (A) wheels stop rollin' 	  
 	 (D) So God help me keep me movin' somehow 
 	 Dont (G) let me start wishin' I was with her now 
 	 I've (A) made it this far without (F#7) cyin' a single (Bm) tear 
 	 And (G) I'd sure hate to (A) break down (D) here 
(D) A hundred fifty thousand miles ago 
Be(Bm)fore the bad blood and busted radio 
(G) You said I was all you'd ever (D) need (A) 
(D) But love is blind and little did i know 
(Bm) That you were just another dead-end road 
(G) Paved with pretty lies and broken (D) dreams 
(F#m) Baby, leaving you was easier than being (Bm) gone 
(F#m) Don't know what i'll do if one more thing goes (G) wrong 
 	 (D) I'd sure hate to break down here 
 	 (G) Nothin' up ahead or in the rearview mirror 
 	 (A) Out in the middle of nowhere knowin' 
 	 (G) I'm in trouble if these (A) wheels stop rollin' 
 	 (D) So God help me keep me movin' somehow 
 	 Dont (G) let me start wishin' I was with her now
