G
I got a half a tank of gas and a fist full of overdrive
G
Boss man probably wonderin' if I'm still alive
G
High line poles swayin' as I'm flyin' by
 D#                                    F     G
Throw a bottle, break it on the city limit sign

G
Ain't a taillight for as far as I can see
G
Fuzz buster just in case the man is clockin' me
           D#                         F     G
A hundred miles down, about a hundred more to go
G
I'm steady rollin', yeah there's one thing I know

[Chorus]
C
Middle of the night and I'm makin' good time
D
Sweet mama waitin' at the end of my line
C
Headed back to her fast as I can go
D                                   F      G
Somebody get the wheel, I'm all over the road

[repeat intro chord progression]
C    G     C    D    G

All over the road


[Verse]
G
I had enough of diggin' ditches in the Florida sun
G
You wanna see a man over it, I'll show you one
                                             D#
I'm comin' home where they take the bad with the good
                             F         G
I might do better if I thought that I could

G
Got a sweet thang, gonna take care of me
G
Won't make no trouble, yeah we'll ease it back and live it free
                                   D#
I light a cigarette and cross the Alabama line
                        F        G
I know that everything'll be just fine


[Chorus]
C
Middle of the night and I'm makin' good time
D
Sweet mama waitin' at the end of my line
C
Headed back to her fast as I can go
D                                F       G
Somebody get the wheel, I'm all over the road

[repeat intro chord progression]
C    G     C    D    G


All over the road

[slow down to half time]

[Bridge]
Woah

N.C.
If I've learned anything it's to go with what you know
I'm gonna stay as close as any stone that you could throw
I will be as right as the rain on a summer day
Aw, get ready mama
F
I sure am on my way
G
Yeah
[repeat intro chord progression]
C    G     C    D    G


[Chorus]
C
Middle of the night and I'm makin' good time
D
Sweet mama waitin' at the end of my line
C
Headed back to her fast as I can go
D                                F       G
Somebody get the wheel, I'm all over the road
