[Verse 1]
A
What I know is I been driving this Mack to Hackensack and back
D
and I never felt worse than when I was away from you
A E
But a man needs a living and the one that I was given
A
ain't the best but I guess it'll simply have to do
[Verse 2]
A
And I know that you sometimes wonder if it wasn't just a blunder
D
when you married a man who's married to the road
A E
but when you're feeling sad and lonely cause you miss your one and only
A
just remember these words to lighten up your load
[Chorus]
D E D E
I carry your smile every mile, your light with every dark night
Asus2 A E A
and all the love you've shown 'til I get home
[Verse 3]
A
What I know is I've never had a reason to ever start believin'
D
that a love like ours could fade while I'm away
A E
But if that's the way you're feeling baby I'm appealin'
A
can't you see that my love is here if you'd a stayed
[Chorus]
D E D E
I carry your smile every mile, your light with every dark night
Asus2 A E A
and all the love you've shown 'til I get home
[Solo]
[Chorus]
D E D E
I carry your smile every mile, your light with every dark night
Asus2 A E A
and all the love you've shown 'til I get home
