Runaway Truck Chords by Red Simpson

[G] _ [B] _ [C] _ _ [G] _ _ [C] _ _
[G] _ [C] Well, I loaded my truck in old LA and everything was a-goin' fine
I was on my way to Bakersfield a-headin' down that old [G] grapevine
I [C] was drivin' along feelin' mighty good, but I didn't have a care
Till I reached for the brakes and I found [G] out I didn't have [Cm] any [D#] there
[D] _ [C#] _ [C] _ Run away, I'm [Am] a-goin' down, down, down
[C] Run away, [D] dangerous curves [G] all around
[C] If I get out of this truck alive, well, there's [F] one thing for sure
[C] I ain't a [G]-gonna drive this big old truck no [C]
more
Well, _ _ [G] _ _ [C] _ _
[G] _ [C] I started pickin' up speed as each white line I passed by
And I knew if I didn't ride around with it, I wouldn't surely [G] die
[C] My head started thumpin', my heart started beatin', I didn't know what to do
And that's when I heard [G] myself sayin' a [C] prayer or [D#] two
[D] _ [C#] _ [C] _ Run away, I'm a [Am]-goin' down, down, down
[C] Run away, [D] dangerous curves [G] all around
[C] If I get out of this truck alive, [F] well, there's one thing for sure
[C] I ain't a-gonna drive this [G] big old [C] truck no more
Well, _ _ [G] _ _ [C] _ _
[G] _ [C] I finally reached the bottom, boy, was I shook up
I opened the door and I crawled out and I walked [G] away from that truck
I [C] called right to the nearest town where I called my boss on the phone
I said, if you want that big iron [G] monster, she's just sittin' out [C] there [D#] alone
[D] _ [C#] _ [C] _ Run away, I'm a-goin' down, down, down
Run away, dangerous [D]
curves all [G] around
[C] Well, I got out of that truck alive, and there's [F] one thing for sure
[Cm] I ain't a-gonna drive them [G] big old [C] trucks no more
_ I ain't a-gonna [G] drive them big old trucks [D#] no [D] more
