G

[Verse 1]
G
 Diamonds on the windshield as heaven starts to cry
C                                          G
 In his rearview mirror his angel waves goodbye
    D
 She knows he’s gotta go, she knows he’s one of them


[Chorus]
G                                        G7
 Brothers of the highway, children of the wind
     C
 That detroit diesel pirate ship
                  G    D
 Goes blowin’ out again sailin’ for the settin’ sun
                          C               G
 Freedoms your best friend brothers of the highway
D               G
 Children of the wind


[Verse 2]
G
 He puts the pedal to the metal, tryin’ to out run the rain
        C                                                   G
 Another shot of truck stop coffee, goes runnin’ through his veins
     D
 This country turns on 18 wheels, thank God we can depend, on 


[Chorus]
G                                        G7
 Brothers of the highway, children of the wind
     C
 That detroit diesel pirate ship
                  G    D
 Goes blowin’ out again sailin’ for the settin’ sun
                          C               G
 Freedoms your best friend brothers of the highway
D               G
 Children of the wind

                  G    D
 Goes blowin’ out again sailin’ for the settin’ sun

 Freedoms your best friend brothers of the highway
