 G               G
There's a thousand miles and eighteen hours
                                    D   C  D
I got to double drive down southbound 35
  G
I got the hammer down, Detroit made

525 Pushin' my ass right down that line

C                 
And that smell of burnin' diesel fuel
                                       D
Just tells me that I'm back out on the road

And I won't make bail in this small time jail, no, not 'round here

   G                                                     D

   G
I'm almost there there's just a few more miles
            G                                         D
