[Intro]
E7 E
[Chorus]
ETruckin', got my chips cashed in
Keep Atruckin', like the dodah man
ToBgether, more or less in line
AJust keep truckin' on E
[Verse 1]
EArrows of neon and flashing marquees out on Main Street
Chicago, New York, Detroit and it's all on the same street
Your typical city involved in a typical daydream
Hang it up and see what tomorrow brings
[Chorus]
EDallas, got a soft machine;
AHouston, too close to New Orleans;
BNew York's got the ways and means
But Ajust won't let you be E
[Verse 2]
EMost of the cats that you meet on the streets speak of true love
Most of the time they're sittin' and cryin' at home
One of these days they know they gotta get goin'
Out of the door and down to the street all alone
[Chorus]
ETruckin', like the dodah man
AOnce told me "You've got to play your hand"
BSometimes your cards ain't worth a dime
AIf you don't lay'em down E
[Bridge]
ASometimes the light's all shinin' on me G
D/F# A Other times I can Dbarely Asee
DLately it ocBmcurs to F#me
Bm F# What a Along, strange trip it's Ebeen
[Verse 3]
EWhat in the world ever became of sweet Jane?
She lost her sparkle, you know she isn't the same
Livin' on reds, vitamin C, and cocaine
All a friend can say is "Ain't it a shame"
[Chorus]
ETruckin', up to Buffalo
Been Athinkin', you got to mellow slow
BTakes time to pick a place to go
And Ajust keep truckin' on E
[Verse 4]
ESittin' and starin' out of the hotel window
Got a tip they're gonna kick the door in again
I'd like to get some sleep before I travel
But if you got a warrant, I guess you're gonna come in
[Chorus]
EBusted, down on Bourbon Street
ASet up, like a bowlin' pin
BKnocked down, it gets to wearin' thin
They Ajust won't let you be, E
[Verse 5]
EYou're sick of hangin' around and you'd like to travel
Get tired of travelin' and you want to settle down
I guess they can't revoke your soul for tryin'
Get out of the door and light out and look all around
[Bridge]
ASometimes the light's all shinin' on me;
Other times I can Dbarely Asee
DLately it ocBmcurs to F#me
Bm F# What a Along, strange trip it's Ebeen
[Chorus]
ETruckin', I'm a goin' home
AWhoa whoa baby, back where I belong
BBack home, sit down and patch my bones
And Aget back truckin' on E
[Fade Out]
