[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.
Arrows of neon are flashing like these on a main street,
Detroit and it's all on the same street.
involved in a typical daydream,
and see what tomorrow brings.
[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.
Arrows of neon are flashing like these on a main street,
Detroit and it's all on the same street.
involved in a typical daydream,
and see what tomorrow brings.

_ _ _ _ _ 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.

_ [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] _

_ _ _ _ _ _ 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. _ _ _
