How Fast Them Trucks Can Go

Claude Gray


Tom: G

A   D   E   A


[Verse 1]
           A
You know a lot of folks stop at truck stops
          D
They just naturally think they should
            E
'Cause they figure any place that a truck driver eats
    A
The food's just gotta be good


[Verse 2]
        A
So they go there amongst all them truckers
D
Sittin' around, talkin' loads
            E
And they're talking about women and stuff like that
        A
And how fast them trucks will go


[Instrumental Bridge]
D    G    A    D


[Verse 3]
          D
There's a little old place on I-76
        G
Where a lot of them drivers stop and get their kicks
E                                                 D
Reckless eyeballing this waitress they got called Flo


[Verse 4]
         D
There's always a bunch in there, hanging out
G
Cuttin' up and talkin' about
        A
How she wiggles when she walks and stuff like that
        D
And how fast them trucks will go


[Verse 5]
           D
Why, it'sa wonder a fella can sit down and eat
    G
His ham and eggs, or his bread and meat
       A                                          D
With a good lookin' woman like that around on the go


[Verse 6]
D
First thing you know, you start to fidget and fussin'
G
Nudging one another, instead of discussing
        A
How she wiggles when she walks and stuff like that
        D
And how fast them trucks will go


[Instrumental Interlude]
G    C    D    G


[Verse 7]
         G
Well old Flo just takes all in stride
    C
And swells all up, with her woman pride
D
She's tickled plum pink
                         G
You'd come in to see the show


[Verse 8]
    G
She throws in a little extra wiggle in that walk
    C
And you just sit there and grin and talk
      D
About homemade lovin' and stuff like that
        G
And how fast them trucks'll go


[Verse 9]
    G
Now I can't explain how it makes you feel
        C
But you tip her five bucks on a two dollar meal
D                                                       G
Get your stuff together and start heading out kinda slow


[Verse 10]
             G
While you're pushing that diesel on down the line
           C
You get to thinking about that woman you left behind
        D
How she wiggles when she walks and stuff like that
        G
And how fast them trucks will go
