Nothing But A Good Ride by Lyle Lovett







  Nothing But A Good Ride 









Capo: 1st fret

 
[Intro] (x4)
G-C-G
 
[Verse]
               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]
                            C         D C
He knows it?s nothing but a good ride
                            G           C G
No there?s nothing there he can?t slide
                           D          C D
No there?s nothing that he won?t spin
                         G           C G
No there?s nothing to it do it again
                        C        D C
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  G   C G
He knows it?s nothing but a good ride
 
[Verse]
                                  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
 
[Chorus]
                            C         D C
He knows it?s nothing but a good ride
                            G           C G
No there?s nothing there he can?t slide
                           D          C D
No there?s nothing that he won?t spin
                         G           C G
No there?s nothing to it do it again
                        C        D C
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
He knows it?s nothing but a good ride
 
[Break]
C-G-D-G-C-G-D-G
 
[Bridge]
                  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.
 
[Chorus]
                            C         D C
He knows it?s nothing but a good ride
                            G           C G
No there?s nothing there he can?t slide
                           D          C D
No there?s nothing that he won?t spin
                         G           C G
No there?s nothing to it do it again
                        C         D C
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  G----C G  G----C G
He knows it?s nothing but a good ride
