[Verse 1]
I just Drolled out of Nashville in my big rig headin' south
My Aeyes are on fire, feels like Gcotton in my Dmouth
DMy whole body's achin' but I got to make them big wheels roll
I got to Abe in Florida by tomorrow morning with a Gfull heavy Dload
DI got to get past Atlanta as soon as I can tonight
I got to Atry to dodge the scales and stay Gout of Smoky's Dsight
DBut there's one big thing standin' like a nightmare in my way
I got to Atop Monteagle Mountain a Glittle bit later toDday
[Chorus]
Goin' Gdown Monteagle Mountain on DI-24
It's Ahell for a trucker when the Gdevil's at your Ddoor
He'll Gtempt you and tell you Dcome on, let her roll
'Cause the Amountain wants your rig and Gtrucker, I want your Dsoul
[Verse 2]
DWhen I started down Monteagle the brakes just wouldn't hold
I Aknew I was in trouble and aGbout to lose Dcontrol
DThe runaway ramp was waitin', I saw the warnin' sign
I said ALord help me make it, have Gmercy on this soul of Dmine
DWell, I ploughed into that runaway ramp and I could feel that big truck groan
My Alife flashed right before my eyes and for a Gminute I thought I was Dgone
DBut when the smoke cleared I thanked God that I was still alive
'Cause when there's a Arunaway on Monteagle some Gtruckers don't surDvive
[Chorus]
Goin' Gdown Monteagle Mountain...

[Verse 1]

I just rolled out of Nashville in my big rig headin' south

A G D

My eyes are on fire, feels like cotton in my mouth

My whole body's achin' but I got to make them big wheels roll

A G D

I got to be in Florida by tomorrow morning with a full heavy load

I got to get past Atlanta as soon as I can tonight

A G D

I got to try to dodge the scales and stay out of Smoky's sight

But there's one big thing standin' like a nightmare in my way

A G D

I got to top Monteagle Mountain a little bit later today

[Chorus]

G D

Goin' down Monteagle Mountain on I-24

A G D

It's hell for a trucker when the devil's at your door

G D

He'll tempt you and tell you come on, let her roll

A G D

'Cause the mountain wants your rig and trucker, I want your soul

[Verse 2]

When I started down Monteagle the brakes just wouldn't hold

A G D

I knew I was in trouble and about to lose control

The runaway ramp was waitin', I saw the warnin' sign

A G D

I said Lord help me make it, have mercy on this soul of mine

Well, I ploughed into that runaway ramp and I could feel that big truck groan

A G D

My life flashed right before my eyes and for a minute I thought I was gone

But when the smoke cleared I thanked God that I was still alive

A G D

'Cause when there's a runaway on Monteagle some truckers don't survive

[Chorus]

Goin' down Monteagle Mountain...
