Am G
Southbound I 65 Alabama real late one new years eve
F G
Got off on the exit on old 31 to gas up and get something to eat
Am G
He was standing there waiting off the side of the pavement white Stetson and
moody suit
F G
I recognized the ghost white face like in makeup eagle on his cowboy boots
Am G
Heard a freight train whine seen the sparkling diamond on his hand in the
shape of an H
F G
I pulled off the side he said boy I need a ride could you help me down the
lost highway
Am G
He climbed in and I could smell the stale whiskey had to be at least 60 yrs
old
F G
Said I’m headed for Montgomery cause my woman doesn’t want me got a cheatin
heart that’s grown so cold
[Bridge]
(D) F G Am
Over wind and the rain I could swear I felt his pain when he said boy I’m so
G F
lonesome I could cry
F Em
I’d give anything to finally see the light
[Chorus]
Am G
Cause every time I settle down and I’m doing just fine
F G
I hear an old freight running down the line
Am G
Yeah I know you Love me babe but you gotta un un understand when the lord made
F
me
G Am G F G
He made a rambling man
[Verse]
Am G
As we drove I was scared all I could do was stare at the white lines passing
on the road
F G
I know he shouldn’t be here sitting in the seat there cause he died a long
time ago
Am G
I spoke I said I know exactly who you are and what you’ve done
F G
He glared at me and said just drive we gotta make Montgomery before the
morning sun
Am G
I don’t wanna talk about the heartache, the women or the drinking or the
things they say
F G
Because a man with a broken heart can do nothing but mother f*c*in lose all
day
Am G
And this long armed daddy been gone it so long it’s all I can do anymore
F G
So get to Montgomery theres a place waiting for me six feet beneath the
ground so cold
[Bridge]
(D) F G Am
Through wind and the rain I couldn’t speak his name but I swear old Hank was
G F
sitting right there at my side
F Em
I guess it was up to me to take him to the light
[Chorus]
Am G
Cause every time I settle down and I’m doing just fine
F G
I hear an old freight running down the line
Am G
Yeah I know you Love me babe but you gotta un un understand when the lord made

Turn
F G
When we hit Montgomery and the skies just opened up
G F
I felt the tears of God come rolling down my face
F E
He tipped his hat and disappeared into his grave
[Chorus]
Am G
