Capo on 1st
(Little Intro)
D G D A D
D G D
When I pulled out of Basra they all wished me luck
A D A
Just like they always did before
D G D
With a bulletproof screen on the hood of my truck
A D
And a Bradley on my back door
G A D G
And I wound her up and shifted her down
A D A
And I offered this prayer to my lord
D G D
I said ?God get me back home to Houston alive
A D
and I won?t drive a truck anymore?
G
Early in the mornin? and I?m rollin? fast
Haulin? nine thousand gallons of high test gas
Sergeant on the radio hollerin? at me
E A
Look out up ahead here come a R.P.G.

D G D
If I ever get home to Houston alive
A D
Then I won?t drive a truck anymore
(Just repeat the above chord changes for the rest of the song)
I?ve driven the big rigs for all of my life
And my radio handle?s ?Train?
Down steep mountain roads on the darkest of nights
I had ice water in my veins
And I come over here ?cause I just didn?t care
Now I?m older and wiser by far
If I ever get home to Houston alive
Then I won?t drive a truck anymore
G
Great God A?mighty what was wrong with me
I know the money?s good but buddy can?t you see
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
If I ever get home to Houston alive
A D
Then I won?t drive a truck anymore
