Intro: (Gadd9) (Gadd9) (Gadd9) (Cadd9) 

I left that (Gadd9) sun sinkin' west in California
I was sup(Cadd9)posed to stay in A  a few more weeks
But the (Em) next time that old sun and I meet (Cadd9) up
I'll be a thousand miles (Gadd9) east

Fifty dollars and a gas card in my pocket
That I'm thinkin' might already be maxed out
That's just one of those little crazy things
I really didn't stop to think about

  Cause when a (Em) man wants to (Cadd9) be with a (Gadd9) woman (D)
  There ain't (Em) no way of (Cadd9) gettin' there too (Gadd9) fast (D)
  When you (Em) know who you (Cadd9) wanna spend
  (Gadd9) The rest of your (D) life with
  You wanna (Am) start (C/B)
  The rest of your (C) life
  Soon as you (Gadd9) can

That state trooper let me off with just a warning
And a promise that I'd try to slow her down
Man that promise was forgotten
By the time I'd gotten two miles out of town

Repeat Chorus

(D) Don't know how much a truck can (Cadd9) handle
(D) But the closer that I (Cadd9) get
I keep pushin' it

  Cause when a (Em) man wants to (Cadd9) be with a (Gadd9) woman (D)
  There ain't (Em) no way of (Cadd9) gettin' there too (Gadd9) fast (D)
  When you (Em) know who you (Cadd9) wanna spend
  (Gadd9) The rest of your (D) life with
  You wanna (Am) start (C/B)
  The rest of your (C) life
  You can't wait to (Am) start (C/B)
  The rest of your (C) life
  Soon as you (Gadd9) can (Cadd9)
  Soon as you (Gadd9) can (Cadd9)
  Soon as you (Gadd9) can (Cadd9)
