Capo on 1st
(Little Intro)
D-G-D-A-DDGD
When I pulled out of Basra they all wished me luck
ADA
Just like they always did before
DGD
With a bulletproof screen on the hood of my truck
AD
And a Bradley on my back door
GADG
And I wound her up and shifted her down
ADA
And I offered this prayer to my lord
DGD
I said God get me back home to Houston alive
AD
and I wont drive a truck anymore
G
Early in the mornin and Im rollin fast
Haulin nine thousand gallons of high test gas
Sergeant on the radio hollerin at me
EA
Look out up ahead here come a R.P.G.
DGD
If I ever get home to Houston alive
AD
Then I wont drive a truck anymore
(Just repeat the above chord changes for the rest of the song)
Ive driven the big rigs for all of my life
And my radio handles Train
Down steep mountain roads on the darkest of nights
I had ice water in my veins
And I come over here cause I just didnt care
Now Im older and wiser by far
If I ever get home to Houston alive
Then I wont drive a truck anymore
G
Great God Amighty what was wrong with me
I know the moneys good but buddy cant you see
You cant take it with you and that aint no lie
EA
I dont wanna let em get me Im too young to die
DGD
If I ever get home to Houston alive
AD
Then I wont drive a truck anymore
