D            A                   Gx2                      D                   A             Gx2
___Time was, we couldn't wait to feel each other's touch, ___Couldn't stand to be apart too long
              D                        A          Gx2                      D
Or too much, ____But now's a different situation, funny how love can start to fade, ____How fast
    A                    Gx2                  Em                                                 A
It goes from boom to bust, Well, if I had my choice, we'd part as friends, But it ain't up to me, You
Em                                                 A                            Stop
Told me to go where it don't snow, Well, if that's how it's gonna be ______


[Chorus]
                         D                             A                       G
Just gimme two rails of steel, Silver wings or eighteen wheels, this ain't the first time in my life,
            Em                                    D                                A
I been sent packin' with my pride, All I need's a blacktop road, don?t even matter where I go
             G                                   Em                 G           D      Em
The moon and stars will keep me company till the dawn, and when the sun comes up we'll both be
         D     A    Gx2
Glad I'm gone _________

___So you can keep your Dear John letter if it's all the same to you, ___I've read the writin' on the
Gx2                  D                 A             Gx2
Wall, we're through, ____Your words of consolation, _____your self-righteous indignation,
D                  A                 Gx2          Em                                     A
___Sound more like lies, to tell the truth, Feels good, I guess, to get it off my chest, Before I up and
                  Em                                            A               Stop
Leave, so you can save your sermon for someone else, Instead of wastin' it on me _____

Just gimme two rails of steel, Silver wings or eighteen wheels, this ain't the first time in my life,
