[Verse 1]
D G D When I pulled out of Basra they all wished me luck D D A D A Just like they always did before D G D With a bulletproof screen on the hood of my truck D A D And a Bradley on my back door G A D G And I wound her up and shifted her down G A D A And I offered this prayer to my lord D G D D I said "God get me back home to Houston alive D A D And I won't drive a truck anymore
[Bridge]
G G This early in the mornin' and I'm rollin' fast G G Haulin' nine thousand gallons of high test gas G G Sergeant on the radio hollerin' at me E E A Look out up ahead here come a R.P.G. D G D D If I ever get home to Houston alive D A D D Then I won't drive a truck anymore

[Verse 2]
D G D Well I've driven the big rigs for all of my life D A D A And my radio handle's "Train" D G D Down steep mountain roads on the darkest of nights D A D I had ice water in my veins G A D G And I come over here 'cause I just didn't care G A D A Now I'm older and wiser by far D G D D If I ever get home to Houston alive D A D D* Then I won't drive a truck anymore
[Outro]
G G Great God A'mighty what was wrong with me G G I know the money's good but buddy can't you see G G You can't take it with you and that ain't no lie E A I don't wanna let 'em get me I'm too young to die D G D D If I ever get home to Houston alive D A D D* Then I won't drive a truck anymore
