[Intro]
Am7   G  C
  Am7  G  C

[Verse 1]
      Am7
I was sitting at
      G
 home all alone
         C
When the phone rang
       Am7
My old man on the line
        G
 saying what's up son
             C
Tell me some new things
Am7               G
I didn't have the heart
                     C
to tell him she was gone,
 gone, gone
    Am7             G
So, I just lied and said
pop here's what's going
  C
 on, on, on

[Chorus]
Am7          G
I'm going 25 down
 a back road
C
Just burning gas,
you know how that goes
       Am7
With a cross breeze 'cross m
G
Dog up in the front seat
C
Talking anything
 but the truth
    Am7
Got Shelton on the station
               G
 playing "Kiss My Ass"
    C
Got dad thinking I ain't
 doing too bad
     Am7
From his point of view
     G
This green grass countryside
      C
And a fresh can of chew
Are the only things I'm
             Am7  G  C
going through

[Verse 2]
        Am7
I could tell him
I've been drinking
         G
That she ain't
 around no more
         C
But he'd take a
two hour ride
C
In his '95 Ford
  Am7
I told him she was gone
         G
 for the weekend
           Dm
Yeah, it's easier than
                  F
 telling him I've gone
              G
off the deep end, so

[Chorus]
Am7          G
I'm going 25 down a back road
C
Just burning gas,
you know how that goes
       Am7
With a cross breeze 'cross m
G
Dog up in the front seat
C
Talking anything
but the truth
    Am7
Got Shelton on the station
               G
playing "Kiss My Ass"

                    Dm7
Going through these bottles
Dm7
Going through this pain
C   F
Ran through half a
 pack sitting 'round today
Dm7
Since you been gone
                       C   F
I've been to hell and back
All I could tell him is that

[Chorus]
Am7          G
I'm going 25 down
