Verse 1
G
Bm
C
D
G
I was out on
the west coast,
Bm
D
C
tryin' to make a buck.
Things didn't work out,
D
G
I was gettin' down on my luck.
Bm
I got tired of roamin'
and bummin' around,
C
D
so I started thumbin' back east
G
Toward my hometown
D
Bm
I made a whole lot of miles
the first few days
C
D
And I figured I'd be home in a week
G
If my luck don't act this way
Bm
But the third night I got stranded
D
C
way outside of town
D
At a cold, lonely crossroads,
Bm
D
G
rain was pouring down
Em
Bm
Well, I was hungry and freezing
C
and I caught a chill
D
When the lights of a big old semi
G
topped the hill
Em
Oh, I sure was glad to hear
G
Bm
them air brakes coming on
C
And I climbed in that cab
D
G
where I knew it'd be warm
Bm
At the wheel sat a big man,
C
he weighed about 210
D
He stuck out his hand and said with a grin,
G
Bm
Big Joe is the name
C
I told him mine, he said the name
D
G
of my rig is Fathom 309
Em
Well I asked him why he
Bm
called his rig such a name
C
He said, son, this old Mac
D
put them all to shame.
G
Why, there ain't a driver
Bm
or a rig runnin' any line
C
That's seen nothin' but
D
G
taillights flat on 309.
Well, we rode and talked
Bm
D
C
the better part of the night
D
When the lights of a truck stop
came inside
G
He said I'm sorry son,
Bm
C
this is as far as you go
Cause I gotta make a turn
D
G
just on up the road
Well he tossed me a dime
Bm
C
as he pulled her in low
Said have yourself a hot cup
D
Bm
on old Big Joe Joe
G
Bm
and his rig roared out into that night
C
And nothing flashed,
D
G
he was plain out of sight
Bm
Well I went inside and I
D
ordered me a cup
C
I told the waiter,
D
Big Joe is setting me up
G
Bm
Oh, you could have heard a pin drop
C
It got deathly quiet,
and the waiter's face
D
turned kind of white.
C
G
Well, I said, wait a minute,
did I say something wrong?
Em
Bm
I'm kind of halfway grand.
C
He said, no, no,
D
this happens every now and then.
G
Every driver in here knows Big Joe.
Bm
But son, let me tell you what happened
C
D
G
about ten years ago.
D
G
Bm
At the crossroads tonight,
D
Bm
C
where you flagged them down,
G
D
there was a busload of kids
G
coming from town.
And they was right in the middle
D
Bm
when Big Joe topped the hill.
C
He could have been slaughtered,
D
but he turned his wheels.
G
Well, Joe lost control,
Em
Bm
C
went into a skid.
D
G
Gave his life to save that bunch of kids.
And there at that crossroads
Em
Bm
was the end of the line
C
D
For Big Joe and Madam 309
G
Bm
G
Bm
C
D
G
Em
Bm
But every now and then
C
Some hitchhiker comes by
D
Bm
G
Like you, Big Joe, give him a ride
Bm
Have another cup of coffee, son
C
And forget about the dine
Keep it as a souvenir
D
D
G
from Big Joe And Fathom 309
G
G
I don't pre -order.
