[Intro 1]
[E][D][G][D][A][D]

[Verse 1]
When I [D]pulled out
of [G]Basra they [D]all wished me luck
Just like they always [A]did before
[D]Wit[A]h a bullet[D]proof screen[G]
on the [D]hood of my truck
And a Bradley on [A]my back [D]door
And I [G]wound [A]her up and
[D]shifted [G]her down
And I offered this [A]prayer to my [D]lord
[A]I said "[D]God get me b[G]ack
home to [D]Houston alive
And I won't drive a [A]truck [D]anymore"

[Verse 2]
[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
[Em]Look out [E]up ahead here come [A]a R[D].P.G.
If I ever [G]get home to [D]Houston alive
Then I won't drive a [A]truck anymore

[Interlude 1]
[D][G][A]
[D][G][A][D][A][F#m][D]
[G][D][A][D]

[Verse 3]
I've [D]driven the [G]big rigs for [D]all of my life
And my radio [A]handle's
[D]"Train"[A]
Down [D]steep mountain [G]roads
on the [D]darkest of nights
I had ice water [A]in my [D]veins
And I [G]come over [A]here 'cause
I [D]just didn't [G]care
Now I'm older and [A]wiser [D]by [A]far
If [D]I ever g[G]et home to H[D]ouston alive
Then I won't drive a [A]truck
anymore
[D]

[Verse 4]
[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
I don't [E]wanna let 'em get
me I'm too [A]young [G]to die
[D]If I ever [G]get home to [D]Houston alive
Then I won't drive a [A]truck anymore
[D]
