Verse 1
G
I was thumbing a
ride one Saturday morning
C
Out of Nashville toting my sack
D
I lent my car to a
Girl that lived in Chattanooga
G
And she hadn't brought it back
She was drinking pretty heavy when
I let her have it
C
I hope she knows it was only a loan
D
There's no telling what I might have
Told her back at the time
G
But that old car was also my home
About five miles out I was
Getting kind of tired
C
Sweating hard and feeling kind of weak
D
I woke up with no cigarettes
And nothing to drink
G
And I hadn't had a bite to eat
D
G
My nerves were so quick I couldn't
D
Tell where I was shaking
G
C
Then a set of brakes sang my song
D
Some fellow stuck his head
out a '57 Chevy
G
And hollered, hey man come on
I told them I was heading
down to Chattanooga
C
They said, hop in we're going there too
D
And the way they took off in a cloud of smoke
G
I still can't believe it was true
They had their windows down and I
Was sitting in the back
C
With my tongue still hung in my throat
D
He was hitting just about
a hundred and ten
And he said
Dm
D
G
Man what do you think of this boat
Well there was two
semis struggling up ahead
C
One trying to pass the other
D
They had the whole road blocked so
Dm
D
He passed them on the right
G
And let me tell you something brother
I was so nervous that
my teeth was clicking
C
There wasn't any way
my head could think
D
Then the one that was sitting
On the passenger side turned and said
G
Hey man you want something to drink
I just shook my head
because I couldn't talk
C
He said okay and then he said cheers
D
The fools were drinking whiskey and wine
G
And chasing it down with beer
Well I started sweating
that old sticky sweat
C
And I know I was white as a sheep
D
Then one turned the radio on wide open
G
And said, hey man check that beat
By the time we reached the top of Monteagle
C
I thought I heard a rumbling sound
D
And then I saw a sign that said falling rock
G
And right there I was floorboard bound
I was rolling and squirming
On the old floorboard
C
Too weak to sit or stand
D
And then the driver said we're
Doing a hundred and twenty
G
Look, here man no hands
I got up enough nerve to
raise up and look
C
And by now there couldn't be no surprise
Dm
D
But his hair was blowing all over my face
G
And dandruff blew in both eyes
He never did drive on the right or left
C
He just kept on riding that line
D
I rubbed my eyes and saw the
prettiest thing
G
The Chattanooga city limit sign
He slowed down and I said
C
Mister, please I'd like to
Get off right here
D
He said, aw ride on into town with us
We're gonna go down and pick
G
Up some more beer i said, please
Once more and he stopped the car
C
And then he handed me my sack
D
Said they'd look for me on the road later on
G
In case I wanted to catch a ride back
I got out and sat down by
The side of the road
C
Feeling sick and looking mighty pale
D
I don't re member anything
much after that
G
But next morning I woke up in jail
I didn't know anybody in my cell
C
And didn't want to ask why was there
D
But they all kept grinning
And turning their heads
G
And it was more than my head could bear
So I called the jailer and I
Asked him to tell me
C
Why I was there if he'd be so kind
D
He said for stopping the traffic while
I was hugging and kissing
The Chattanooga city limit sign
