[Intro]
G
[Verse 1]
G C G Me and Billy were roofers of houses G D We met at the Louisville union hall G C G It was like I'd found my long lost brother G D We drank like fish and worked like dogs G C G Looking back I knew he'd get me in trouble G D But I didn't have too many friends G C G Running up and down that Dixie highway G D We thought the good times would never end
[Chorus]
Em C G Down that long black highway Em C D There's a deep dark hole Em C G Down that long black highway Am D C There's a lot of things you'll never know
[Interlude]
G C G
[Verse 2]
G C G We chased women and we chased whiskey G D From the Gulf up to Ohio G C G Then one night we ran out of money G D And we robbed us an all night Texaco G C G Right in there I guess the friendship ended G D That's where the good times fell apart G C G I remember screaming at Billy G You should've let that kid alone, D you should've drove off in the dark
[Chorus]
Em C G Down that long black highway Em C D There's a deep dark hole Em C G Down that long black highway Am D C There's a lot of things you'll never know
[Interlude]

[Verse 3]
G C G Well we pulled off on a back road G D I thought to think about what we'd done G C G I got out took a leak and lit a smoke G D but now I'm wishing I had run G C G 'Cause Billy always was a mean one G D And he was stoned out of his head G C G Well I guess that he quit shooting G D When he thought that I was dead
[Chorus]
Em C G Going down that long black highway Em C D There's a deep dark hole Em C G Down that long black highway Am D C There's a lot of things you'll never know
[Interlude]

[Verse 4]
G C G I woke up sometime around daylight G D But I didn't live long after that G C G I was taken back up to the highway G D By a ghost, he was wearing a Texaco hat G C G Now me and that kid we haunt that stretch of highway G D We go see Billy from time to time G C G You know Billy always acted a little bit crazy G D But now he's done gone plumb out of his mind
[Chorus]
Em C G Going down that long black highway Em G C D There's a deep dark hole Em C G Down that long black highway Am D C There's a lot of things you'll never know
