G Cadd9 G Cadd9

Verse 1:
G
She drove an '81 Peterbilt 18-wheeler
    Cadd9
Jet black with pink mud flaps
          G
It was a mean piece of metal with lightning in the pedal
Cadd9
Thunder comin' out the back
          G
And them boys would chuckle when they saw her buckle
  Cadd9
Herself in the captain's seat
      G
But nobody was laughin' when she'd go to passin'
 Cadd9
Smilin' at them real sweet

Chorus:
        G                        F
She is hell on wheels where the road meets the rubber
   C                   G
A real gear jammer, a white line wonder
           G                   F
Yeah, you only get one and I wouldn't want another
        C                      G
'Cause mama was a bad mother trucker

Verse 2:
       G
Yeah, she was a bread winner, ain't no stoppin' her
Cadd9
Stayed shot out of a gun
G
Had me at a truck stop, just north of 40
       Cadd9
In her cab on a flagstaff run
       G
I was raised on jerky from here to Albuquerque
         Cadd9
Went to school on her ol' CB
            G
She made a name for herself, taught me how to spell
Cadd9
R-E-S-P-E-C-T

I make my livin' on this road
    G                  F
The reason that smoke stays in the stack
    C
My gone don't wanna go back
