Damn This Road

G
Well I've been drivin' hours, just a
 pushin' through this rain
C                                 
Hell, from Corpus to Del Rio, man 
                      G
there ain't much in between
     D                             
Nevermind the lines ahead of me 
      C                G
like the ones I've left behind
       C         D     G         
Well I hold that wheel with a 
    C                      D      
steady hand, mama, yeah but a 
   C        G
tired and troubled mind

I lost the last radio station so 
many miles ago
But I picked me up this spanish 
singer, she was beamin' out of 
Mexico
Well her songs were sweet and 
soulful and every note she sang rang
 true
But I couldn't understand a word she
 sang but the blues are still them 
blues

Yeah, damn this old road
                   D     C  G
Lord it's about to steal my soul
             Am       C/B    C
Lord you get addicted to the money
            D   G
Better drug ??? cold


Well the boss man he keeps pushin, 
well he wants me on that line
Say if you gonna earn a dollar child
 you've gotta sacrfice sometimes
Yeah but I'm all out of want to and 
I've been there for a while
I've been runnin on fate these days,
 feelin' every goddamn mile


Steel solo


Well this gypsy life has robbed me 
of everything I own
But why would a woman want me when 
she knows she'd be alone
So I'm pushin' this truck a little 
faster, a little closer to the 
ground
I pray I'll just out run it all, 
Hell if I could break the speed of 
sound

Chorus
