Fred Eaglesmith - Truckers Speed

 G                     D
I got her letter in an old mail box 
C
I forgot at I had at a little truck stop
      G                D
And I read it once and read it again
C
I could hardly keep from cryin

I've been driving around the last week or so
With and empty truck I don't have a load
I don't care cause to tell you the truth
I think I might be dyin
 
         G              D   
And it's trucker speed, benzedrine
C
Percocets and amphetamines
G                 D                C
Black beautys and west coast turn arounds
G                         D
When the coast is clear I drive with my knees
C
I mix it all up like a recipie G D C Coca-cola and coffee to wash it down G D C Sometimes I feel like my wheels ain't touching the ground At the side of the road he said you're a mess When I told him she didn't leave an address Then he got another call said wait right here I'll be back in a little while I put my head across my arms Slept on the wheel for an hour or more And I started it up and took off into the night Chorus I've been high-centered, low throttle When I couldn't stop I peed in a bottle I've been so lonesome I made hank willaims Look like a party of five I've been beat up broke down Load it on a truck and drive it to town I always thought she'd be there at the end of the line I always thought she'd be there at the end of the line Chorus
