[Intro]
E*     D      G      D     
D      D      A      D      D

[Verse 1]
D                    G     
When I pulled out of Basra 
     D
they all wished me luck
D         D           A     D     A
Just like they always did before
       D           G         
With a bulletproof screen on 
    D
the hood of my truck
      D          A           D
And a Bradley on my back door
      G         A      D           G
And I wound her up and shifted her down
      G            A            D    A
And I offered this prayer to my lord
        D          G    
I said \"God get me back 
        D        D
home to Houston alive
      D             A        D
And I won\'t drive a truck anymore

[Bridge]
     G                        
This early in the mornin\' and 
    G
I\'m rollin\' fast
G                             
Haulin\' nine thousand gallons 
   G
of high test gas
G                     G
Sergeant on the radio hollerin\' at me
E              E              A
Look out up ahead here come a R.P.G.
   D      G           D        D

[Verse 2]
          D              G    
Well I\'ve driven the big rigs 
        D
for all of my life
       D     A         D      A
And my radio handle\'s \"Train\"
     D              G        
Down steep mountain roads on 
    D
the darkest of nights
      D         A       D
I had ice water in my veins
      G         A    
And I come over here 
         D           G
\'cause I just didn\'t care
        G         A        D   A
Now I\'m older and wiser by far
   D      G           D        D
If I ever get home to Houston alive
       D           
Then I won\'t drive 
  A        D      D*
a truck anymore

[Outro]
G                           G
Great God A\'mighty what was wrong 
with me
G                       
I know the money\'s good 
          G
but buddy can\'t you see
G                          
You can\'t take it with you 
         G
and that ain\'t no lie
        E                    
I don\'t wanna let \'em get me 
         A
I\'m too young to die
   D      G           D        D
If I ever get home to Houston alive
       D             A        D    D*
Then I won\'t drive a truck anymore
