[E]
[G] [E]
I'm truckin', got my chips cashed in, [A] keep truckin'
Life with you, dumb man, [B] together
No addressing [A] lines, just keep truckin'
Oh, oh, [E] oh, oh
Arrows of neon are flashing like keys on the Main Street
Chicago, New York, Detroit, and it's all on the same street
The typical city involved in a typical daydream
Hang it up and see what tomorrow brings
Dallas, got a software machine
[A]
Houston, close to New Orleans
[B] New York, got the ways and [A] means
Just won't let you leave
[E]
Most of the cats that you meet [C#m] on the streets [E] speak of true love
Most of the time they're sippin' and cryin' and all
One of these days, they know they gotta get goin'
Out of that door and down to the street all alone
I'm truckin' like a two-dumb [A] man
Once told me you got to play your hand
[B] Sometimes the cards ain't worth a dime
[A] If you don't play on the dime
[E]
Sometimes
[F#m] [G#] [A]
the lights are all shinin' on [G] me
[F#] [A] All the other times [D] I can barely [A] [G] see
[F#] [A]
[D] Lately [G] it occurs [F#] to [B] me
[F#]
[A] What a long spaceship it's [E] been
What in the world ever became of Sweet Jane?
She lost her sparkle, you know she isn't the same
Livin' on reds, vitamin C, and cocaine
All a friend can say is ain't it a shame?
Truckin', up above the [A] road, been thinkin'
You got to let loose, [A#] no, [B] it takes time
To pick a place to [A] go, just keep truckin'
On, on, [E] on
Sitting and staring out of the hotel window
Gotta take that one to keep the door in again
I'd like to get some sleep before I travel
But if you got a warrant, I guess you're gonna come in
Busted down on Bourbon Street
[A] Set up like a bowling pin
[B] Knocked down, it gets to where it ends
[A] It just won't let you be
[E]
[C#m] You're sick of hangin' around, [E] you like to travel
Tired of travelin', you wanna settle down
I guess I can't revoke your soft chime
Get out of the car, light out and look around
[A] Sometimes the light's all shinin' on [G] me
[F#m]
[A] Other times I [D] can [A] barely [Em] [F#] see
[A]
[D] Lately [Bm] it all appears [F#] to [B] me
[F#] What [A] a long, strange trip [E] it's been
Truckin', I'm goin' home
[A] Whoa, baby, back where I belong
[B] Back home, sit down and patch my [A] bones
Back home, sit down and patch my [E] bones
[Em] [G#m]
