Rockin' Down the Highway

          A
Got those highway blues, can't you hear my motor runnin'
D                            A
Flyin' down the road with my foot on the floor

All the way in town they can hear me comin'
D                               A
Ford's about to drop; she won't do no more
F
   And I smell my motor burnin' underneath of hood of smoke
E
Can't stop, and I can't stop
G                                 Gsus4  G
Gotta keep on movin' or I'll lose my     mind
A     G       D        A
Oh... rockin' down the highway
      G       D        A
Oh... rockin' down the highway
      G       D        A
Oh... rockin' down the highway
      G       D        A
Oh... rockin' down the highway

The highway patrol got his eye on me
I know what he's thinkin' and it ain't no good
I'm movin' so fast he can barely see me
Gonna lose that man like I know I should
I gotta kick in my pedal, make my Ford move a little bit faster
Can't stop, and I can't stop
Gotta keep on movin' or I'll lose my mind
Oh... rockin' down the highway
Oh... rockin' down the highway
Oh... rockin' down the highway
Oh... rockin' down the highway
