[Verse 1]
 G                        D
I got her letter in a little mail 
box
C
I forgot at I had at an old truck 
stop
      G                D
And I read it once and read it again
C
I could hardly keep from cryin

[Verse 2]
         G                       D
I've been driving around the last 
week or so
        C
With and empty truck I don't have a 
load
   G                       D
I don't care cause to tell you the 
truth
C
I think I might be dyin

[Chorus]
         G              D
And it's trucker speed, benzedrine
C
Percocets and amphetamines
G                 D               
Black beautys and west coast turn 
 C
arounds
G                         D
When the coast is clear I drive with
 my knees
C
I mix it all up in a recipe
G              D                C
Coca-cola and coffee to wash it down
G                         D  
Sometimes I feel like my wheels 
                       C
ain't touching the ground

[Verse 3]
       G                       D
At the side of the road he said 
you're a mess
       C
When I told him she didn't leave an 
address
       G                       D
Then he got another call said wait 
right here
       C
I'll be back in a little while

[Verse 4]
   G           D
I put my head across my arms
 C
Slept on the wheel for an hour or 
more
    G                   D
And I started it up and took off
    C
into the night

[Chorus]
         G              D
And it's trucker speed, benzedrine
C
Percocets and amphetamines
G                 D               
Black beautys and west coast turn 
 C
arounds
G                         D
When the coast is clear I drive with
 my knees
C
I mix it all up in a recipe
G              D                C
Coca-cola and coffee to wash it down
G                         D  
Sometimes I feel like my wheels 
                       C
ain't touching the ground
G                         D  
Sometimes I feel like my wheels 
                       C
ain't touching the ground

[Verse 5]
            G                D
I've been high-centered and low 
throttle
     C
When I couldn't stop I peed in a 
bottle
         G                      D
I've been so lonesome I made Hank 
Willaims
       C
Look like a party of five

[Verse 6]
          G         D
I've been beat up broke down
C
Load it on a truck and drive it to 
town
    G                      D
I always thought you'd be there at 
the end
      C
of the line
   G                      D
I always thought you'd be there at 
the end
      C
