1.      Black road, Georgia trees,        midnight moon to stay with me,

D                                        G    - D                                            G

    like a lighthouse in the sky,         let these eighteen wheels fly.

A                                      - G

    Woke up this morning        in a motel fight,

A                                                     G                            D     - G

    the day is dawning, I’m gonna drive - - through the light,

                                 D     - G

    down that open road.

2.     I asked her where we stood,       she said: Baby, this ain’t no good.

D                                                 G      - D                                          G 

    You made the highway your home,      and I’m just tired of livin’ alone.

A                                   - G

    So you go your way        and I’ll go mine,

A                                        G                                        D   - G

    maybe someday you’ll find - - what you’re looking for,

                                D      - G

    down that open road.

    some peace of heart, some peace of mind,

                   G                             A

    but this road just winds and winds.

3.     There’s a crazy lady with high-heeled shoes,

E                                                             A

    Got a double sleeper,        I’m hell on wheels,

B7                                                           A                        E     - A

    so come on, sweet thing, show me how - - your love feels

                           E       - A

    on the open road.

4. She don’t break down, she don’t run cold,

                      A

    she’s my heart and soul, she’s my modern gold.

                     E

    She’s a white line when I’m driving blind,

               A                                  D     A    E

    she’s running all night, she’s right on time,

                  A                   E                     A
