[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'
Arrows of neon are flashing like keys on the Main Street
Detroit, and it's all on the same street
involved in a typical daydream

_ _ _ _ _ _ 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 _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
