VERSE:
Em7 D G
Spray a little ether in the breather and hope she cranks
Em7 D G
Pour a little Folgers from the thermos and take a drink
Em7 D
Hardpack them Marlboro reds

Check the oil and the recap treads
Em7 D
A Little Rock'n’roller on the radio

You're gonna miss your boys but it's time to go
CHORUS:

Put eighteen hours on eighteen wheels

With little white pills nippin’ at your heels

Like some outlaw asphalt cowboy in the wind
Cadd9 G
Ridin' high till you run out
D Em
It's an uphill battle just gearin' down
Cadd9 G D D
Try'n'a get somewhere on a road that just don't end
Cadd9 G D
Racin' time and losin’ miles you’ll never get back again

Em D G
Little boy wishin' he was fishin’ in his dreams
Em7 D
Never got to know you too good
G
Now he says things he don't mean
Em7 D
Ya couldn't make a good thing last
G
Always had to go so fast
Em D
But age caught up, slowed you down
G
And the days, they just fly by now
CHORUS:
Cadd9 G
Put eighteen hours on eighteen wheels
D Em
With little white pills nippin’ at your heels
Cadd9 G D D
Like some outlaw asphalt cowboy in the wind
Cadd9 G
Ridin' high till you run out
D Em
It's an uphill battle just gearin' down
Cadd9 G D D
Try'n'a get somewhere on a road that just don't end
Cadd9 G D
Racin' time and losin’ miles you’ll never get back again

Woh oh oh oh oh oh ohhh

BREAK:
Cadd9 D
Well. this cat in the cradle never got a silver spoon
Em
Now I run the roads just like you
Cadd9
There's cities between her and me
And a real-life
D
Man, I swear that it feels like
CHORUS:
Cadd9 G
Eighteen hours on eighteen wheels

With little white pills nippin’ at my heels
Cadd9 G D D
Like some outlaw asphalt cowboy in the wind
Cadd9 G
Ridin' high till you run out
D Em
It's an uphill battle just gearin' down
Cadd9 G D
Try'n'a get somewhere on a road that just don't en-end
Cadd9 G D
Racin' time and losin’ miles I’ll never get back again

Little rock-and-roller on the radio, you're gonna miss your boys but it's time to go
Put eighteen hours on eighteen wheels
With little white pills nippin' at your heels
Like some outlaw asphalt cowboy in the wind
Riding high 'til you run out
It's an uphill battle just gearing down
Trying to get somewhere on a road that just don't end
Racing time and losing miles you'll never get back again
Whoa
Whoa
Little boy wishin' he was fishin' in his dreams
Never got to know you too good, now he says things he don't mean
You couldn't make a good thing last, always had to go so fast
But age caught up, slowed you down, and the days, they just fly by now
Like eighteen hours on eighteen wheels
With little white pills nippin' at your heels
Like some outlaw asphalt cowboy in the wind
Riding high 'til you run out

Like some outlaw asphalt cowboy in the wind
Riding high 'til I run out
It's an uphill battle just gearing down
Trying to get somewhere on a road that just don't end
Racing time and losing miles I'll never get back again
Whoa
