C

[Verse 1]
C                             Em          Am         C
shees looking out the window dreaming on fading lights
C
Her man is on the job again the long one this time for seven nights
C                                                                F
Hes loaded up and ready kicked his tyres and wheeled off to the west
F                              C
and shes already feeling   lonely

[Chorus]
C                           Em              Am         C
and the pain runs down her cheek and on her dressing gown
F                                                                   C
she gives all the love she can she doesnt plan to slow her truckie down
C                        Em           Am                           C
and she battles with her babies and lately been thinkin about her life
F                                                        C

C                                                   F

Dm                                      C
but he'd rather be at home with his woman
