Intro Backing Chords: A G D

Verse 1:
D
Darlin' I still hear your name
      Em
Through the windshield wipers and the drivin' rain
     G                D
I'll be 'cross the rocky mountains in the mornin'
     D
And it's one too many lonely nights
     Em
When the highway comes to be the way of life
   G                    D
Seems like about the time I'm gettin' near I'm goin'


Chorus:
          D             Em
Hear that Peterbilt whine down the solid white line
       G                 A
Don't make no money if I don’t make it there on time
A        D                Em
Houston, Dallas, San Antone, wind it up until I'm home
     G                  D
I've got fourteen gears to get you back in my arms

Intro Backing Chords: A G D


Verse 2:
D
But if I know that you'll be waitin' there
     Em
Then you know that's a weight girl that I can bear
   G                    D   Fill:
I can see your face in the headlights' lonely glare
D
With the big ol' moon steady on the rise
    Em
and the hammer down across the great divide
    G                   D
I'll be pushin' through till I'm back where I belong

Chorus:
          D             Em
Hear that Peterbilt whine down the solid white line
       G                 A
Don't make no money if I don’t make it there on time
A        D                Em
Houston, Dallas, San Antone, wind it up until I'm home
     G                  D
I've got fourteen gears to get you back in my arms


Bridge:
Bm      A       G
To watch the sunset on the west Arizona sky
Bm     A       G      A
To feel the cool wind on a cold El Paso night


Chorus:
          D             Em
Hear that Peterbilt whine down the solid white line
       G                 A
Don't make no money if I don’t make it there on time
A        D                Em
Houston, Dallas, San Antone, wind it up until I'm home
     G                  D
I've got fourteen gears to get you back in my arms
