[D] [G] Motorway food is the worst in the world, you've never eaten food like it's eaten on the motorway.
Motorway food is the worst in the world.
Coffee tastes weak and the cakes taste stale, gasoline fumes are the worst to impale.
Summer blows over and your face turns pale.
[D] Oh, that motorway livin' [A] [G] ain't no thrill to [D] be so free, yeah.
Ridin' down [E] the motorway, got my charge up, my battery, rest my seat, rest my eyes.
[Bm] So tired, tired of livin', tired [D] of livin' this motorway [G]
livin'.
[D] [G]
[D] Motorway tea is warm and wet, rain is a-pourin' and it's four in the mornin' and it's all I can get.
You've never seen news like motorway news, thousands of people passin' through.
It's enough to put you off of that motorway food.
[D]
Oh, that [G] motorway livin' [G] ain't no thrill to be [D] so free, yeah.
Gotta [Em] get away from [Em] cat's eyes, cold [A] meat pies, thousand-round rods, cold french [Bm] fries.
So tired, tired of livin', tired [D] of livin' this [G] motorway livin'.
[D] [G]
Motorway food is invariably dry.
It feeds me and eats me and has me [D] somehow.
[Am] Ain't it a thrill to be so [D] free, yeah.
Ridin' down [Em] the motorway, cat's eyes, cold meat pies, [A] thousand-round rods, cold french [D] fries.
So tired, tired of livin', tired of livin' this motorway [G] livin'.
Motorway food is worse than the world's never-eaten food like eatin' on the motorway.
Motorway food is worse than the world's.
This world looks upset and I don't feel well.
Gotta get my head down, stop for a while in a motorway hotel.
Mama, oh mama, guess who's at zoo?
This motorway mess has hit them just for you.
My headaches improve, but my back really hurts.
I never thought I'd travel so far to work.
