[Verse 1]
G
Straight ahead, right down the highway
               D
Out across New Mexico
G                                          D
Passing trucks with Haggard singing on the radio.
          G
There's a shootin' star falling behind me
                         D
But wishin' won't make a dream come true
E                 Bm       Em           G        Am
Right now there's only one thing that I gotta do.

[Chorus]
  D
I gotta drive, keep on rolling
D
I gotta cover some ground tonight
D
I gotta drive like a river flowing
       G               D
In her arms, I'm gonna be alright.

[Verse 2]
G
One more stop, fill her up
                      D
A cup of coffee and a piece of pie
  G                                      D
A dollar tip and I'm back out under that western sky.
        G
Got the pedal down as far as it's going
                  D
I ain't worryin' about my speed
E                   Em                   G           Am
'Cause I just don't know how long she'll wait for me.

[Chorus]
      D
Oh, I gotta drive, keep on rolling
D
I gotta cover some ground tonight
D
I gotta drive like a river flowing
       G               D
In her arms, I'm gonna be alright.

[Bridge]
          G
There's a shootin' star falling behind me
                           D
But wishin' won't bring me home to you
E                   Bm                    G        Am
  Right now there's only one thing that I gotta do.

Oh, I gotta drive, keep on rolling

I gotta drive like a river flowing

Drive . . . I gotta drive

Oh, I gotta drive
D              D
I gotta drive... (fades out)
