[Intro] E Em C Em [Verse]
E                Em
Lay down, and rest your head,

E                     Em
Stretch your body across my bed,

E                     Em
Just close your eyes, I'll take you there.

E                     Em
That open highway's waiting where,

E                        Em
You'll know me just like I know you,

E                  Em
Where every gospel word is true.

E                         Em
I'll drive this car, I'll be your guide,

E                           Em
Just fasten your seat belt, let's go for a ride.
[Chorus]
C#m                                 A     G    Em
I'll take you someplace that you've never been before,

C#m                         Am       G
A place you might have only dreamt about what's more.
[Verse]
E                     Em
Just one road in and just one road out, 

E                     Em
I know this country inside out.

E                     Em
I speak in tongues, in tongues of fire.

E                     Em
With sixteen wheels for my desire.

E            Em
300 horse in my V8,

E                    Em
Close to one hundred MPH,

E                     Em
And all the meters up in the red,

E                           Em
Now don't you worry your pretty little petrol head.
[Chorus]
C#m                                 A     G    Em
I'll take you someplace that you've never been before,

C#m                         Am       G
A place you might have only dreamt about what's more.

C#m                         A        G
Like Moses driving to his promised land,

C#m                              A                 G
Left turn at the burning bush, a stick shift in my hand.
[Bridge]
C           Am             D
Bring me my Bow of burning gold;

F           G         A
Bring me my Arrows of desire:

C                           D
Bring me my Spear: O clouds unfold!

F           Dm         Am
Bring me my Chariot of fire!
[Verse]
E                     Em
I fought my way from Hell to this,

E                     Em
And drove my truck through a hail of fists,

E                     Em
But I ain't never killed no innocent man,

E                         Em
Kept the engine running so I just ran.

E                     Em
But I've been wounded, I been shot,

E                     Em
And this is all the thanks I got, 

E                  Em
A busted arm and a busted lip

E                     Em
Let's climb aboard the mothership.
[Chorus]
C#m                                 A     G    Em
I'll take you someplace that you've never been before,

C#m                         Am       G
A place you might have only dreamt about what's more.

C#m                         A        G
Like Moses driving to his promised land,

C#m                              A                 G
Left turn at the burning bush, a stick shift, two stone tablets, 

           A              G
God's commandments in my hands.
[Outro]
E            Em
300 horse in my V8,

E                    Em
Close to one hundred MPH,

E                     Em
And all the meters up in the red,

E                           Em                E
Now don't you worry your pretty little petrol head…
