A Few Good Rides Away

D D/F# G D D/F# G INTRO D I was sittin' in a truckstop, G D Watchin' tumbleweeds roll by. Tryin' to read the menu, A When the waitress caught my eye. D D/F# She pulled a pencil from her hair, G And leaned across the bar. D I did my best not to stare, A D G/B But man, she made it hard. D I asked that trucker next to me, G D Hey, what looks good today? He said I know what's on your mind, A And boy, there ain't no way. D D/F# Get yourself some apple pie, G And something cool to drink. D I know you want the special, A D D(add9) D And I like the way you think. G But you can't have the waitress, D Boy, everybody's tried. A There's a cowboy down in Abilene, D Who keeps her satisfied. G They got a hundred acre dream D D/F# G That's gettin' closer every day. D D/F# G G/B Just a few more plates of ham and eggs, A D D/F# G And a few good rides away. D Hard times hit West Texas, G D Damn near everything's for sale. But there's some things we hold sacred, A When everything else fails. D D/F# When we're down to nothing, G Out here, everybody shares. D Most of us have lost our dreams, A D Dsus So we bought into theirs. D I've seen her walk a hundred miles, G D Up and down this floor. I've never seen her fail to smile, A When he limps through that door. D D/F# So when you're done, you leave a tip, G And make it nice and fat. D And feel lucky you can own a piece, A D Of something like that. G But you can't have the waitress, D Boy, everybody's tried. A There's a cowboy down in Abilene, D Who keeps her satisfied. G They got a hundred acre dream D D/F# G That's gettin' closer every day. D D/F# G G/B Just a few more plates of ham and eggs, A D And a few good rides away.
