[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
If I ever get home to Houston alive
       D             A        D    D
Then I won't drive a truck anymore

[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
