[Intro]
D
[Chorus]
D A7 D
This old sleeper cab's my home sweet home
G D
I'm always on the road, rolling on
G D
Any highway, state or interstate's my lawn
A7 D
This old sleeper cab's my home sweet home
[Verse 1]
D A7 D
My house number's just a decal on the door
G D
That old stack's just my chimney with a roar
G D
I got a windshield picture window for a view
A7 D
And a radio to drive away the blues
[Chorus 2]
D A7 D
This old sleeper cab's the only home I've got
G D
No matter if I'm on the road or not
G D
I got a bucket seat to rest my weary soul
A7 D
And 16 forward gears to let 'er roll
[Chorus 3]
D A7 D
This old sleeper cab's my home sweet home
G D
No trucker ever leaves the road for long
G D
I've quit a hundred times, I thought I could
A7 D
But now I know, the road is in my blood
D#
[Verse 2]
D# A#7 D#
When I start to get too old to gear it down
G# D#
And the lines on the road are growing dim
G# D#
I'll find a roadside park just out of town
A#7 D#
Mount my mailbox on her hood and settle down
[Chorus]
D# A#7 D#
This old sleeper cab's my home sweet home
G# D#
I'm always on the road, rolling on
G# D#
Any highway, state or interstate's my lawn
A#7 D#
This old sleeper cab's my home sweet home
A#7 D#
This old sleeper cab's my home sweet home
A#7 D#
This old sleeper cab's my home sweet home
