[Intro]
E Em C Em
[Verse]
E Em
Lay down, and rest your head,
E Em
Stretch your body across my bed,
E Em
Just close your eyes, I'll take you there.
E Em
That open highway's waiting where,
E Em
You'll know me just like I know you,
E Em
Where every gospel word is true.
E Em
I'll drive this car, I'll be your guide,
E Em
Just fasten your seat belt, let's go for a ride.
[Chorus]
C#m A G Em
I'll take you someplace that you've never been before,
C#m Am G
A place you might have only dreamt about what's more.
[Verse]
E Em
Just one road in and just one road out,
E Em
I know this country inside out.
E Em
I speak in tongues, in tongues of fire.
E Em
With sixteen wheels for my desire.
E Em
300 horse in my V8,
E Em
Close to one hundred MPH,
E Em
And all the meters up in the red,
E Em
Now don't you worry your pretty little petrol head.
[Chorus]
C#m A G Em
I'll take you someplace that you've never been before,
C#m Am G
A place you might have only dreamt about what's more.
C#m A G
Like Moses driving to his promised land,
C#m A G
Left turn at the burning bush, a stick shift in my hand.
[Bridge]
C Am D
Bring me my Bow of burning gold;
F G A
Bring me my Arrows of desire:
C D
Bring me my Spear: O clouds unfold!
F Dm Am
Bring me my Chariot of fire!
[Verse]
E Em
I fought my way from Hell to this,
E Em
And drove my truck through a hail of fists,
E Em
But I ain't never killed no innocent man,
E Em
Kept the engine running so I just ran.
E Em
But I've been wounded, I been shot,
E Em
And this is all the thanks I got,
E Em
A busted arm and a busted lip
E Em
Let's climb aboard the mothership.
[Chorus]
C#m A G Em
I'll take you someplace that you've never been before,
C#m Am G
A place you might have only dreamt about what's more.
C#m A G
Like Moses driving to his promised land,
C#m A G
Left turn at the burning bush, a stick shift, two stone tablets,
A G
God's commandments in my hands.
[Outro]
E Em
300 horse in my V8,
E Em
Close to one hundred MPH,
E Em
And all the meters up in the red,
E Em E
Now don't you worry your pretty little petrol head…
