[Verse 1]
G D
I got her letter in a little mail box
C
I forgot at I had at an old truck stop
G D
And I read it once and read it again
C
I could hardly keep from cryin
[Verse 2]
G D
I've been driving around the last week or so
C
With and empty truck I don't have a load
G D
I don't care cause to tell you the truth
C
I think I might be dyin
[Chorus]
G D
And it's trucker speed, benzedrine
C
Percocets and amphetamines
G D C
Black beautys and west coast turn arounds
G D
When the coast is clear I drive with my knees
C
I mix it all up in a recipe
G D C
Coca-cola and coffee to wash it down
G D C
Sometimes I feel like my wheels ain't touching the ground
[Verse 3]
G D
At the side of the road he said you're a mess
C
When I told him she didn't leave an address
G D
Then he got another call said wait right here
C
I'll be back in a little while
[Verse 4]
G D
I put my head across my arms
C
Slept on the wheel for an hour or more
G D
And I started it up and took off
C
into the night
[Chorus]
G D
And it's trucker speed, benzedrine
C
Percocets and amphetamines
G D C
Black beautys and west coast turn arounds
G D
When the coast is clear I drive with my knees
C
I mix it all up in a recipe
G D C
Coca-cola and coffee to wash it down
G D C
Sometimes I feel like my wheels ain't touching the ground
G D C
Sometimes I feel like my wheels ain't touching the ground
[Solo]

[Verse 5]
G D
I've been high-centered and low throttle
C
When I couldn't stop I peed in a bottle
G D
I've been so lonesome I made Hank Willaims
C
Look like a party of five
[Verse 6]
G D
I've been beat up broke down
C
Load it on a truck and drive it to town
G D
I always thought you'd be there at the end
C
of the line
G D
I always thought you'd be there at the end
C
of the line
[Chorus]
G D
And it's trucker speed, benzedrine
C
Percocets and amphetamines
G D C
Black beautys and west coast turn arounds
G D
When the coast is clear I drive with my knees
C
I mix it all up in a recipe
G D C
Coca-cola and coffee to wash it down
G D C
Sometimes I feel like my wheels ain't touching the ground
G D C
Sometimes I feel like my wheels ain't touching the ground
[Outro]
G D C
Sometimes I feel like my wheels ain't touching the ground
