[D]
Well, the midnight headlights plunging on a rainy night, steep grade up ahead, slow
me down, making [G] no time.
But I gotta [D] keep rolling.
Those windshield wipers slapping out of tempo, keeping perfect rhythm with the song [G] on the radio.
Yeah, I gotta [D] keep rolling.
I'm diving [C] my life away, [G] looking for a better way, [D] for me.
I'm diving [C] my life away, I'm looking [G] for a sunny [D] day.
[Bm]
[G] [D]
Well, the truck stopped cutie, coming on to me, tried to talk me into a ride, said I wouldn't [G] be sorry.
Oh, but she [D] was just a baby.
Eight-way church, pour me another cup of coffee, pop it down, jack me up, shoot me out, flying
[G] down the highway.
I'm looking [D] for the morning.
Ooh, I'm diving [C] my life away, I'm looking [G] for a better [D] way, for me.
Ooh, I'm diving [C] my life away, I'm looking [G] for a sunny day.
[Bm] [G]
[D] Well, [Dm]
