(Intro) 3/4  G  C  G  C  x 2
   G        Am                      G/B         C    
I packed it all on a whim, threw an old Hank cassette tape in
  G      Am             G/B             C
Dad's 84 rusty Ford, he swore we'd never make it
   Em                     
I quit my job, let my momma down
          D                                  C
Broke an angel's heart on the way out of town
           Am
Pulled my roots --- from the ground for ---

(Chorus)
     G     C                          
The hum of wheels on a blacktop
     G        C     
The strum of strings on a flat top
        Em   D           C          G/B
It's a neon fever, for a small town dreamer
           Am                          D    
Tells you everything you have is worth losing
              G         G  Am  G/B   C    C

 G             Am                  G/B                 C
Might get lost in the lights, the things that keep you up all night
 G               Am          G/B           C
Whiskey straight 3AM chasing songs in your head
          Em                               D
It's the sweetest highs, the lowest lows, needing yes and hearing no
      C                   Am
Just another sold soul, belive me I know it's

(Chorus 2)
     G      C      
The hum of wheels on a blacktop
     G       C 
The strum of strings on a flat top
       Em       D          C         G/B
It'll take you, break you, damn sure make you
    Am              G/B        C     D
Do things you never thought you'd be doing
              G

(Bridge)
          Em                  D
When the money, the fame, the lights on your name
 C             G/B         Am
All fade a-way well you'll still be a slave to ---

(Chorus 3)
     G         C
The hum of wheels on a blacktop
     G           C
The strum of strings on a flat top
        Em  D           C          G/B 
It's a neon fever for a small town dreamer
           Am                          D
Tells you everything you have is worth losing
