[Intro] G [Chorus]
         C              D          G
This old rig of mine is home sweet home to me,

    F          C         G
And that's the way it'll always be,

                                    F
With my big drivin' lights, oh, I'm pushin' through the night,

        C             G
Highway fever's got a hold on me.
[Verse]
            G                                Am
Ah, there's always one more load and there's always one more road,

D                   G
Leading me north or south my friend,

                                 Am
But I don't really care when I'm rollin' way out there,

         C              D        G
'Cos I'm loaded and i'm rollin' again my friend.
[Verse]
             G                          Am
There's been blood, sweat and tears for nigh on twenty years,

D                    G
I've had my share of woman strife,

                                   Am
But I'm a rambling man that's what broke my weddin' band,

    C          D              G
But I'll do my own thing with my life.
[Chorus]
             C              D          G
And this old rig of mine is home sweet home to me,

    F          C         G
And that's the way it'll always be,

                                F
With my big drivin' lights, I'm pushin' through the nights,

        C             G
Highway fever's got a hold on me.
[Interlude] G G G G C D G F C G [Verse]
   G                      Am
So many times before when I've been in the wars,

D                        G
I've sworn each time I'd give it up,

                           Am
Tried it once or twice but couldn't pay the price,

   C         D           G
Of losin' my freedom and this old truck.
[Verse]
        G                              Am
When my rig begins to roll and there's pride within my soul,

D                    G
I'm king of all that I survey,

                                  Am
It's freedom that I feel when I'm here behind the wheel,

C        D            G
Rollin', rollin' this long highway.
[Chorus]
             C              D          G
And this old rig of mine is home sweet home to me,

    F          C         G
And that's the way it'll always be,

                                F
With my big drivin' lights, I'm pushin' through the nights,

        C             G
Highway fever's got a hold on me.
[Tag]
F       C             G
Highway fever's got a hold on me.
