[Verse 1]
   A                               D
Headlights in my face,  there's a roadblock up ahead,
           A                               E
I've been toolin' down to tooley,  coming home just like I said,
       A                                D
Doin' 90 in a speed trap,  they won't catch me from behind,
            A                     E                   A         A
I've been drivin' myself crazy,  big wheel makin' up time.

[Chorus 1]
         D                          A
Like a thief in the night,  there's no turnin' back,
 E                              A
Runnin' down the highway,  you know I'm ahead of the pack,
        D                       A                G       F
Like a man out on a stakeout,  veering 'til the bor . . der . . .
            A                          D        E       A
Well I'm a runnin' the road blocks to get back home to you.

[Verse 2]
  A                                          D
Pavement screams,  beneath my tires,  like there's some fool to tell,
  A                                      E
Callin' on the squad cars,  lies at the set of the Golden L,
  A                             D
Ranger said pull over,    fat chance, I'm at the wheel,
     A                                       E                A          A
The night is crisp you can see their fist,  everybody's after me.

[Chorus 2]
         D                          A
Like a thief in the night,  there's no turnin' back,
 E                              A
Runnin' down the highway,  you know I'm ahead of the pack,
        D                       A                G       F
Like a man out on a stakeout,  veering 'til the bor . . der . . .
       A                          D        E       A
I'm a runnin' the road blocks to get back home to you.


[Outro]
       A                          D        E       A
I'm a runnin' the road blocks to get back home to you.
       A                          D        E       A
I'm a runnin' the road blocks to get back home to you.
