Intro: G C G G C G G C G G C G C He?s pulling out for Reno G He hopes a tire don?t blow D Up near Albuquerque G He?ll fuel and get some coffee C Cline?s Corners truck stop G A waitress with a wet mop D Telling him to don?t walk G He tips his hat and don?t talk CHORUS C D C He knows it?s nothing but a good ride G C G No there?s nothing there he can?t slide D C D No there?s nothing that he won?t spin G C G No there?s nothing to it do it again C D C No it?s nothing but the big show G C G No there?s nowhere that he won?t go D C D No he never has to ask why G C G G C G He knows it?s nothing but a good ride C He says there?s something about a sunrise G Waking up sleepy eyes D He says there?s something about a highway G Telling him he can?t stay C He says there?s something about a long drive G That gives him some peace of mind D And there?s something that he can?t take G When he?s coming in second place CHORUS C D C He knows it?s nothing but a good ride G C G No there?s nothing there he can?t slide D C D No there?s nothing that he won?t spin G C G No there?s nothing to it do it again C D C No it?s nothing but the big show G C G No there?s nowhere that he won?t go D C D No he never has to ask why G C G He knows it?s nothing but a good ride BREAK: C-G-D-G-C-G-D-G C And when it?s all over G He?ll move a little slower D He?ll back up to the trailer G And look toward Oklahoma C He?ll pull out right through the middle of town G And watch the sun start sinking down D Still just lighting up the road signs G Getting ready for the next time.
