C
He's pulling out for Reno
G
He hopes a tire don't blow
D
Up near Albuquerque
G
He'll fuel and get some coffee
C
Cline's Corners truck stop
G
A waitress with a wet mop
D
Telling him to don't walk
G
He tips his hat and don't talk
CHORUS

He knows it's nothing but a good ride

No there's nothing there he can't slide

No it's nothing but the big show
G C G
No there's nowhere that he won't go
D C D
No he never has to ask why
G C G C G
He knows it's nothing but a good ride
C
He says there's something about a sunrise
G
Waking up sleepy eyes
D
He says there's something about a highway
G
Telling him he can't stay
C
He says there's something about a long drive
G
That gives him some peace of mind
D
And there's something that he can't take
G
When he's coming in second place

He knows it's nothing but a good ride
C
And when it's all over
G
He'll move a little slower
D
He'll back up to the trailer
G
And look toward Oklahoma
C
He'll pull out right through the middle of town
G
And watch the sun start sinking down
D
Still just lighting up the road signs
G
Getting ready for the next time.
