Capo 4th fret 
Intro 
G Em G Em 
 
G 
The sun has opened up my eyes 
                             D 
And I don't wanna leave your side 
                  C 
For that lonesome road 
           G 
But here I go climbing back behind the wheel 
 
Of fifty feet of chrome and steel 
      D                 C 
And a load they need in Chicago 
Em D C 
     Through the middle of the night unknown 
Em D C                        D 
     I'm on a ride that won't let me go 

G              D 
I'm an asphalt cowboy 
Em 
Born to run underneath the stars 
C 
Pay no mind to my lonely heart 
G          D 
Just ride, ride 
Em                          C 
'Till I'm back in your arms again 
Em                      C 
I'll be out here on the wind  
 
G 
Sometimes late at night 
                                    D 
I see your picture by the dashboard light 
             C                    G 
And it takes me where I'd like to be 
G 
Wrapped up in a blanket there 
G 
Pullin' ribbons from your hair 
         D                 C 
And your kiss, girl that's what I miss 
Em D C  
     Still I drive these horses through the rain and snow 
Em D C                        D 
     This high speed rodeo is all I know 
 
(Chorus) 
 
G            D 
And I'll ride 
Em                           C 
Untill I'm back in your arms again 
Em                       C 
I'll be out there on the wind 
G            D 
And I'll ride 
Em 
Through the middle of the night unknown 
C 
On a ride that won't let me go 
G       Em     
Asphalt cowboy
