Well! When I pulled out
[Intro]

[Verse 1]
D G D
When I pulled out of Basra they all wished me luck
D D A D A
Just like they always did before
D G D
With a bulletproof screen on the hood of my truck
D A D
And a Bradley on my back door
G A D G
And I wound her up and shifted her down
G A D A
And I offered this prayer to my lord
D G D D
I said "God get me back home to Houston alive
D A D
And I won't drive a truck anymore
[Bridge]
G G
This early in the mornin' and I'm rollin' fast
G G
Haulin' nine thousand gallons of high test gas
G G
Sergeant on the radio hollerin' at me
E E A
Look out up ahead here come a R.P.G.
D G D D
If I ever get home to Houston alive
D A D D
Then I won't drive a truck anymore
[Instrumental]
| G | A | D | G |
| G | A | D | G A |
[Verse 2]
D G D
Well I've driven the big rigs for all of my life
D A D A
And my radio handle's "Train"
D G D
Down steep mountain roads on the darkest of nights
D A D
I had ice water in my veins
G A D G
And I come over here 'cause I just didn't care
G A D A
Now I'm older and wiser by far
D G D D
If I ever get home to Houston alive
D A D D*
Then I won't drive a truck anymore
[Outro]
G G
Great God A'mighty what was wrong with me
G G
I know the money's good but buddy can't you see
G G
You can't take it with you and that ain't no lie
E A
I don't wanna let 'em get me I'm too young to die
D G D D
If I ever get home to Houston alive
D A D D*
Then I won't drive a truck anymore
