[E]
[G] [E]
Keep truckin', got my chips finished in, [A] keep truckin' like the two dumb [B] men together,
over that sim line, [A] just keep truckin' home.
[E]
Arrows of neon are flashing like these on a 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, blood and soft machine, [A]
Houston, you close to New [B] Orleans,
New York, got the waves and [A] means, just won't let you be.
[E]
Most of the cats that you meet on the streets be Gatrula,
most of the time they're just [E] in the mine at home.
One of these days, see now they gotta get going,
out of that door and down to the street all alone.
Keep truckin' like the two dumb [A] men, once told me you got to pay your hands,
[B]
sometimes they're causing you work to die, [A] if you don't lay them down.
[E]
[F#m] [E] [A] Sometimes the lights fall shining on [G] [F#] me, [A] other [D] times I can [A] barely [G] see,
[F#] [A]
[D] lately [E] [Bm] it occurs [F#] to me, [B] [F#] [A] what a long, strange trip [E] it's been.
What in the world ever became of Sweet Jane?
She lost her father, you know she isn't the same,
living on rest, vitamin C and cocaine, while her friend confessed, ain't it a shame?
Truckin', up above the road, [A] been thinkin', you got some mellow snow,
[B] takes time to pick a place to [A] go, just keep truckin' [D] on.
[E]
Sitting in there, out of the hotel window, gotta kick, they're gonna kick 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 pulling [B] pin,
knock down, it gets to where it [A] ends, it just won't let you be.
[E]
When [C#m] you're sick of hanging around, [E] you like to travel,
tired of traveling, you want to settle down, pockets but can't refocus all the time,
get out of the car, light out and look all around.
[A] Sometimes the light's all shining on [G] [F#m] me, [A]
other [D] times I can [A] barely [G] see,
[F#] [A] [D]
lately [Em] it [Bm] occurs [F#] to me, [A] what a long, strange [E] trip it's been.
Truckin', I'm going home, [A] whoa, whoa, baby, that's where I belong,
[B] back home, sit down and patch my [A] bones, cause yes, that's truckin', uh-huh, [E] uh-huh, I'm going home.
