[Intro] E [Verse 1]
            E                                                    B7
Through the long dark night until the first day light, I'll be a-riding this road

                                                    E      A      E
On the long highway, I never stop or stay, when I'm riding   this road

  A                                          F#
I pray ev'ry I'm a-goin' through town, don't want no inspectors comin' flaggin' me down

        B7                                                     E       A      E
I got a big overload, they'll really go to town, they catch me riding'   this road
[Verse]
   E                                              B7
My eyes are red, the border's up ahead, and I'm a-riding this road

                                                                E      A      E
I'd give the world for a blow at a roadhouse I know, instead of ridin'   this road.

      A                                           F#
But I don't believe in ever pushin' my luck, I've got this far with an overloaded truck

    B7                                                    E      A      E
The last thing I need is someone checkin' up, to catch me ridin'   this road
[Instrumental] E B7 E A E A F# B7 E A E [Verse 2]
       E                                               B7
Up the hill I grind and down the other side, oh, I'm a-burnin' up this road

                                                                   E      A      E
I'm as safe as a bank, I've got the mountains to thank while I'm a-riding   this road.

        A                                                      F#
There's only one more weighbridge and I tell you straight, I'm loaded more than ten percent overweight

            B7                                                        E      A       E
But if they wait for the dawn, they're gonna be too late, to catch me ridin'    this road.
[Instrumental] E B7 E A E
        A                                                      F#
There's only one more weighbridge and I tell you straight, I'm loaded more than ten percent overweight

            B7                                                        E      A       E
But if they wait for the dawn, they're gonna be too late, to catch me ridin'    this road.
[Outro] E B7 E A E A F# B7 E A E
