To say I miss you

Em C D G
There's 200 miles behind me and too many more to go.
Theres a warm case of Pearl
In my back seat
But it ain't going to help
Beat this highway heat
But the suns finally sinking
Gives me a hand
I don't ask for much
I guess you take what you can
The truckers keep on rollin
Wish this car was my ????????? (not sure about this line)
I leave the keys in it
And climb in the cab
I got oil on my hands
And grease in my hair
I'm stuck out here singing
This Roadside Prayer
Repeat Chorus:
I've only been playing about 6 months and this is the very first song I tried
to do.... So try not to yell at me, too much. But please let me know how I did.
