E 
Ah the stories I could tell 
        E 
All the places I have seen 
   E 
My engine block is covered in blood 
       E 
And my veins are pumping gasoline 
A 
From Waxahachie to Rabbit Hash 
A 
I've felt that steel belt song 
    B7 
And every exit looks the same 
  A                               E 
I guess I've been on the road too long  
 
 
I'm out for seven weeks this time 
I can't remember where I've been 
I'm always one day closer to home 
Then I go right back out again 
My wife is not the jealous kind 
But she's singin' a sad sad song 
I think I missed another Valentine's 
I guess I've been on the road too long  
 
 
Bridge: 
    A 
The rows of corn are flashing by 
    E 
The broken white lines too 
    F# 
The bugs splatter, the CB chatters 
B7                                        A 
Nothin' matters more than getting back to you  
                E 
Getting back to you 
 
 
Guitar Solo 
 
 
Think twice before you follow me 
There's not a lotta glory on the road 
It's safe and warm inside the van 
But this Motel 6 is cold 
Diner fries, diesel smoke 
You won't be young for long 
My brain is bent, my body broke 
I guess I've been on the road too long
