[Verse]
G                    D               C
Well, darling, I'm a coming down old route number sixty-seven.
  G                D                     C
I just got off the turnpike avoiding the Ohio state inspection.
G                   D                        C
Johnny law followed me up the road, but then he turned off and he let me go.
G                          D              C
guess this old truck ain't worth shutting down.
         G                       D                  C
And your voice last night on the telephone said you wouldn't be there when I got home
G                               D                  C
So, when I get to Cleveland I'm going to head back south.


[Chorus]
    G                       D            C
The light keeps coming on, I've got water in the fuel.
   G          D
My brakes are gone,
           G               D                   C
I've got a left front tire throwing thread. By tomorrow morning, I could be dead.
G                    D         C
Baby, maybe you were right all along.

[Verse]
G                     D           C
You said you couldn't stay with a man who was always going away,
G                     D             C
And all you wanted to do was settle down.
    G                  D               C
You wanted to buy that little trailer, out on the edge with the money you saved.
         G          D                C
It had a carport, a colour TV and no place to turn around.

[Chorus]
    G                       D            C
The light keeps coming on, I've got water in the fuel.
   G          D
My brakes are gone,
           G               D                   C
I've got a left front tire throwing thread. By tomorrow morning, I could be dead.
G                    D.        C
Baby, maybe you were right all along.


[Bridge]
  Am
Remember that winter when the lake froze over,
   C
We drove out there after we'd unloaded,
   G                        D                  C
We revved that truck and we spun it 'round and 'round.
        Am
Then we left it idling out on that ice,
C
Crawled in the sleeper and I held you tight.
G              D           C
Baby, I'm sure on thin ice now.


[Chorus]
    G                       D            C
The light keeps coming on, I've got water in the fuel.
   G          D
My brakes are gone,
           G               D                   C
I've got a left front tire throwing thread. By tomorrow morning, I could be dead.
G                    D        C
Baby, maybe you were right all along.

    G                       D            C
The light keeps coming on, I've got water in the fuel.
   G          D
My brakes are gone,
           G               D                   C

G                    D.        C
