[Verse 1]
Em
I made some money on a dice game
I spent the money on some beer
I picked a lizard up in East Louisiana
Am Em
Hadn't seen her in a coupla years
Am
I drank a bottle of tequila in the evening
Em
When I woke up I was back on the road
G
Gonna push this little rig
B7 Em
To Oklahoma with a heavier load
[Verse 2]
Em
I met a tweaker in the Bad Plains
I bought some methamphetamine
I used a lighter with a little piece of foil
Am Em
Roll the window up in my little machine
Am
And I got higher than a seven fortyseven
Em
Lord, it felt like I was flying a planе
G
This eighteen wheelers running
B7 Em
It's a moving like a passengеr train
[Solo 1]
| Em | - | - | - |
| Am | - | Em | - |
| B7 | Am | Em | - |
[Chorus]
Am
When the sun goes down
Em
And the coyotes start to howling down the line
G
You can smell the diesel burning
D
When the motor startsa turning
Em
And them cylinders are ready to whine
Am
I'm on the midnight train
Em
Gonna run this little engine off the rails
G B7
The highway is the same old heaven
Em Em
Lord, it's the same old hell
[Verse 3]
Em
I ain't been sleeping for some days now
And my supply is running low
I called my brother up to see if he was holding
Am Em
And I told him I had money to blow
Am
He said he knew about a dealer in Durango
Em
But he's leaving in a couple of days
G B7
So I'm gonna push this little rig to Colorado
Em
With my mind in a haze
[Verse 4]
Em
I'm flying ninety down the highway
Headlights are burning down the line
I hear the engine it'sa screaming like an eagle
Am Em
Gonna make it, just a matter of time
Am
My eyes are heavy and I'm thinking about my baby
Em
Lord, I wish that I could see her again
G
And I'm driving like a devil
B7 Em
Gonna push the pedal into the wind
[Solo 2]

Am
When the sun goes down

And the coyotes start to howling down the line

G B7
The highway is the same old heaven
Em
Lord, it's the same old hell
[Outro]
G B7
The highway is the same old heaven
Em
Lord, it's the same old hell
G B7
The highway is the same old heaven
Em
Lord, it's the same old hell
