🎸 Verse 1:
         G
Well the night is as dark as the brown in your eyes
      C
And I lay on my back and I look to the skies
       D                     D7                      G
And to tell you the truth
I ain't got a lot left to give


🎸 Verse 2:
         G
And it's cold in the country that I left behind
        C
I got a week or two left till the end of the line
            D                    D7                   G
And I'll be running as fast as I can straight home to you

🎸 Chorus:
         C
But it's cold on the road and my heat ain't working
        G
I got a half empty tank and my back is a hurt
    D               D7             G    G7
But I see you in my rearview every mile
    C
And Valentine's Day is a hard way to go
  G
A hundred miles away on the wide open road
       D                         D7                    G
With a hole in my heart from the back, oh I'm hauling away

🎸 Interlude:
G C D C G

🎸 Verse 3:
         G
And this christmas was something, we were together
        C
I had a week off of work and another for the weather
D                           D7                        G
Who knew that three feet of snow could fall down that fast

🎸 Verse 4:
    G
The pictures I filled up my phone with look nice
    C
Our baby and you next to christmas tree lights
    D                        D7                   G
The last thing I see 'fore I fall off asleep all alone

🎸 Chorus:
           C
Cause it's cold on the road and my heat ain't working
        G
I got a half empty tank and my back is a hurt
    D               D7             G    G7
But I see you in my rearview every mile
    C
And Easter Sunday is a hard way to go
  G
A hundred miles away on the wide open road
        D                     D7                     G
With my heart as black as the coal that I'm hauling away

🎸 Interlude:
G C D C G

🎸 Verse 5:
G
One of these days we'll have more than a weekend
     C
I'll turn in my keys and we'll jump off the deep end
    D                  D7                          G
And we won't leave the front yard for two or three years

🎸 Verse 6:
      G
But until then I'll write you these open road letters
     C
I'll keep em in the glove box till we are together
   D                   D7                G
To tell you how much I miss you when I'm gone

🎸 Chorus:
           C
Cause it's cold on the road and my heat ain't working
        G
I got a half empty tank and my back is a hurt
    D               D7             G    G7
But I see you in my rearview every mile
            C
And all the time on the road was as hard as it's been
       G
I just dropped off my load
I ain't going back again
    D                      D7                           G
And my foot's heavy on the gas, coming straight home to you
