3rd traste
[Verse]
D Em
Three hundred miles to wait before I drop this load of freight
G Em A
there's shorter ways but I think the fastest is still the interstate
D Em
I'd give anything right now for a minute to lay down
G Em A
there's weather coming traffics running farely heavy now
[Chorus]
Em
Catch my breath again and I sit up straight
A
and I wince at the pain & my whole back aches
G
and I think about what my dad would say
Em A
son your lucky just to have a job
[Verse]
D Em
Visions come to me 'bout what my kids might be
G Em A
good at basketball, singing songs, chopping down a tree
D Em
they're growing up while I drive but I can see 'em in my mind
G Em A
And when I get home I probably tangle up some fishing line
[Chorus]
Em
Catch my breath again and I sit up straight
A
and I wince at the pain & my whole back aches
G
and I think about what my dad would say
Em A
son your lucky just to have a job
[Verse]
C D
An I know I have to think about the good things
C G A
an I have to hold my head up and be proud of what I do
N.C
Three hundred more to wait before I drop this load of freight
N.C
there's shorter ways but I think the fastest is still the interstate
[Chorus]
Em
Catch my breath again and I sit up straight
A
and I wince at the pain & my whole back aches
G
and I think about what my dad would say
Em A
son your lucky just to have a job
