🎸 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
