D9    G

        I'm trying to focus



D9    G

        But i'm fallin' asleep



D9    G                              C

        the baggage on my eyelids is too



                                   Em

        heavy to keep from fallin'



               Am     C           G

        Ramble on, on through the night



D9     G

        I've been driving



D9     G

        since a quarter to three



D9     G                             C

        I've seen the sun come up so many times



                             Em

        this week it's scary



               Am    C      G

        Rollin on until the day





       Chorus:



                   Em       D    Em

        When i get off that open road



                  C        D     Em

        There's a pull within my bones



               Em         D    Em

        Like a ship bound by a rope



                     C      D         Em

        It won't let go, it won't let go



                     C      D         Em

        It won't let go, It won't let go









D9     G

        I've been run over



D9     G

        by the hangover truck



D9     G

        A drive-by shooting shot down



           C

        By twelve ounce eighty proof slugs



                Em      Am

        Embedded, in my head



            C          G

        The ache in my head



D9     G                  D9   G

        I've been smokin',      sticks from a ditch



D9     G

        That mid-west farmer's daughter



               C

        Is the one that's makin' me itch



                 Em           Am      C       G 

        In places,  i'd never want an itch to be 





Repeat chorus with all barre chords. Enjoy
