[Verse]
    D            D/C#             D/B     Dadd4/A
Mr. DJ won't you please play me a song

G                               A
Play it for an old boy who's a long, long way from home

       F#m                    Em
With a 1000 miles ahead and a thousand miles behind

  G                          A
A dollar in his pocket and a woman on his mind

        D               D/C#         D/B     Dadd4/A
You can pick out almost anything you choose.

     G                          A     
Play Sweet Home Alabama or let Waylon sing the blues

        F#m                             Em
I don't care what kind of music just as long as it sounds tough

          G                             A
But don't play any hurting songs 'cause I feel bad enough
[Chorus]
          G                                 A
Now don't get the wrong impression, I ain't meaning to complain

       F#m                           Bm
But it would be Sunday morning and I guess it had to rain

      G            G/F#        Em                  A           D               D7
I was doing pretty good 'til I heard that darn old train going thru, who knows where

      G                                A
And I guess the combination's got me feeling kind a low

    F#m                              Bm
And all I got to cheer me up is this all night radio

              G                 G/F#             Em         A             D
Why don't you play us something hot and let this 18 wheeler roll my blues away
[Verse 2]
       D            D/C#             D/B     Dadd4/A
Well I called her from a phone booth in St. Paul

       G                                A    
When I asked her if she loves me, I got no reply at all

       F#m                                     Em
And if that's the way she wants it, that's the way it's gonna be

         G                         A
It might hurt a little while, but that's alright with me

       D            D/C#             D/B     Dadd4/A
I been 10 years wondering what went wrong

         G                          A
And then I turned on my radio and I heard a country song

       F#m                           Em
And it kinda keeps me moving just to roll on down the line

     G                                  A
But when you played that hurting song I almost started crying
[Chorus 2]
 G                                   A
Willie drowned in Whiskey River with Hank Jr's. rowdy friends

      F#m                           Bm
Those rich boys sang Elvira, Ricky played the mandolin

       G            G/F#           Em             A               D             D7
Them old boys from Alabama put the pedal to the metal and let her roll, roll along

       G                                    A
Then I started feeling bad when George stopped loving her today

              F#m                           Bm
Why don't you let old Micky Gilley get down on them 88's

            G                 G/F#             Em         A             D    D/C#    D/B     Dadd4/A
Come on and play us something hot and let this 18 wheeler roll my blues away

 D    D/C#    D/B     Dadd4/A
