F C A7 D G C
[Verse 1]
C G C
The year is two thousand and eighty
G C
And hardly a highway remains
F C A7
Gone are the days of the diesel
D G
And songs about wrecks in the rain
C G C
The Macs and MacLeans have all rusted away
G C
The Harvesters rot in the sand
F C A7
And in a deserted truck stop sits Tennessee Thompson
D G
The world's last truck drivin' man
[Verse 2]
C G C
He lit up the world's last Lucky
G C
Got his last cup of coffee refilled
F C A7
Then he stared at the sky for one final high
D G
Took the world's last little white pill
C G C
He said world you are losin' your truckers
G C
And your suckers do not give a damn
F C A
You're freightin' in space and there just ain't no place
D G C
For a hard ridin' truck drivin' man
[Bridge]
F G C
The world's last truck drivin' man
F G C
His left arm is losin' its tan
F G C F
The rest all went broke and just went up in smoke
C G C
He's the world's last truck drivin' man
[Verse 3]
C G C
Then he sat there and drank to old mem'ries
G C
And Doreen sat there dryin' his tears
F C A7
Doreen was the world's last truck stoppin' waitress
D G
She was weary and worn with the years
C G C
So he put his last dime in the world's last jukebox
G C
For the lady he'd loved for so long
F C A
And there in that deserted truck stop they danced
D G C D
To the world's last truck drivin' song
[Verse 4]
D A D
Then he climbed up inside his ol' semi
A D
And Doreen she crawled up at his side
G D B
He shifted it down and the diesel's sad sound
E A
Said this is your last homeward ride
D A D
So he whispered 10-4 to her and the Lord
A D
As the microphone fell from his hand
G D B7
And he came to the exit marked Tennessee Thompson
E A
The world's last truck drivin' man
[Verse 5]
D A D
He was high ballin' straight through them bright pearly gates
A D
When behind in the dust of his rig
G D B7
Come the wailin' siren of ol' Smokey McKenzie
E A
The world's last interstate pig
D A D
Hear 'em roar see 'em fly past the clouds through the sky
A D
On that highway that don't have an end
G D B7
But you know that's heaven for Tennessee Thompson
E A D D
The world's last truck drivin' man and Doreen
E A D
The world's last truck drivin' man

10-4 and gone
