Forty Five Miles

45 Miles By Todd Snider rmofle at satx.rr.com 11/6/2005 The song is in the same chord the whole song But this riff is what gives it the sound: E----------------- B----------------- G----------------- D----------------- A-0---0-3-00---0-- E---3--------3---- A Theres a truck turned over on the highway A Flares burning out of the snow A Freezing rain in the passing lane A I got forty five miles to go Forty five miles, forty five miles Thats gonna take all night Should have known right away that something was wrong When I started thinking things were all right, things were not all right My old mans sick, my sisters going broke Theyre closing down my favorite bar I got a smokers cough and now to top it all off I think Im gonna wreck my car, Im gonna wreck my car They say life goes in phases like seasons I say something about all of them sucks Its as hard to be hot as it is to be cold Youre either out of control or youre stuck, youre either out of control or youre stuck So take whatever road that you want to Careful of the ice and the snow I aint got time to change my mind I got forty five miles to go Forty five miles, forty five miles Man thats gonna take all night I should have known right away that something was wrong When I started thinking things were all right, things are not all right
