American Dreams by Joe's Truck Stop
American Dreams
Tuning:E A D G B E
Capo:1st fret
[Verse]
E
I'm tryin' to get some sleep, I'm tryin' to get some rest,
You know it's been a while.
B
I've been running around this country so long.
I've been through Boston, Charleston, Dayton, Lousiana
E
Washington, Houston, shit man, wrong song.
Like I said, it's been a while
A
And I'm tryin' to get my head on straight.
B E
That collection man's been calling for days and I still gotta pay my rent.
[Verse]
E
I'm home for three days and two of them I'm working
B
before I'm on the road again.
That ain't enough time to keep my home-life going
E
and tie up all of my loose ends.
My baby keeps complaining, you know she keeps a saying
A
That I ain't calling home enough.
E
I'm trying to get my life together, hell the best that I can
B E
Living by the wheel of a van.
[Chorus]
A E
Well it ain't easy, but you get what you put in.
My life will be full of living and loosing
B
But I'd never let that do me in.
A E
All hell can't stop me, it's just the way I've always been.
I'm gonna live this way, I get to die this way
B A E
Running the highways of American Dreams.
[Verse]
E
Yeah I don't mind, I've spent enough time
B
Doing what others told me to do.
Got me burnt out and loosing it, trying to make the best of it
E
I've done everything I could do.
Well it ain't like ramblin', might be down right gamblin'
A
Hoping that it'll all pay off.
E
I've laid on futons, floor boards, couches and dog beds
B E
Wishing that I could doze off.
[Bridge]
A G E
This is my 9-5, best that I could find.
A B
But I'm gonna make it work, I ain't got much else in line.
A G
Gonna hit the road, gone another night
E B E
Gonna hope ol' Desi don't put up a fight.
[Chorus]
A E
It ain't easy, but you get what you put in.
My life will be full of living and loosing
B
But I'd never let that do me in.
A E
All Hell can't stop me, it's just the way I've always been.
I'm gonna live this way, I get to die this way
B A E
Running the highways of American Dreams.
[Outro]
E
Yeah, I get to live this way, I get to die this way
B A E
Running the highways of American Dreams.
