[Verse 1]
       D
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
D
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
D
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
D
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]
D
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
D
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
D
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
D
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]
      G
Goin' down Monteagle Mountain...
