Well, I was coming from Montgomery.
[Eb] I had my guitar on my back [F] when this stranger stopped beside me in an antique Cadillac.
He was dressed like 1950, [Eb] half drunk and hollow-eyed.
[F] Say, it's a long walk to Nashville, would [C] you like a ride?
Well, I sat down in the front seat, [Eb] turned on the radio,
[F] and them sad old songs coming out of them [C] speakers was solid country gold.
Then I noticed the stranger was ghost-white [Eb] pale when I asked him for a light.
[F] Yeah, I knew there was something strange [C] about this ride.
[Bb] He said, Drifter, can you [F] make folks cry when you're [C] playing songs?
Have you played the deuce?
Can you moan the [G] blues?
Can you bring them guitar strings?
[Bb] Boy, can you [F] make folks feel what you [C] feel inside?
[Bb] If you're big star [F] bound, let me warn you, it's [C] a long, hard ride.
[Bb]
[F] [C] [Fm] Then [C] a crowd just south of Nashville, [Eb] and he turned that car around.
