D9 G
I’m trying to focus
D9 G
But i’m fallin’ asleep
D9 G C
the baggage on my eyelids is too
Em
heavy to keep from fallin’
Am C G
Ramble on, on through the night
D9 G
I’ve been driving
D9 G
since a quarter to three
D9 G C
I’ve seen the sun come up so many times
Em
this week it’s scary
Am C G
Rollin on until the day
Chorus:
Em D Em
When i get off that open road
C D Em
There’s a pull within my bones
Em D Em
Like a ship bound by a rope
C D Em
It won’t let go, it won’t let go
C D Em
It won’t let go, It won’t let go
D9 G
I’ve been run over
D9 G
by the hangover truck
D9 G
A drive-by shooting shot down
C
By twelve ounce eighty proof slugs
Em Am
Embedded, in my head
C G
The ache in my head
D9 G D9 G
I’ve been smokin’, sticks from a ditch
D9 G
That mid-west farmer’s daughter
C
Is the one that’s makin’ me itch
Em Am C G
In places, i’d never want an itch to be
Repeat chorus with all barre chords. Enjoy
