Nothing But A Good Ride

Lyle Lovett

Intro: G-C-G  G-C-G  G-C-G  G-C-G    

 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
 CDC
He knows it's nothing but a good ride    
 GCG
No there's nothing there he can't slide    
 DCD
No there's nothing that he won't spin    
 GCG
No there's nothing to it do it again    
 CDC
No it's nothing but the big show    
 GCG
No there's nowhere that he won't go    
 DCD
No he never has to ask why     
 GCGGCG
He knows it's nothing but a good ride       

 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
 CDC
He knows it's nothing but a good ride    
 GCG
No there's nothing there he can't slide    
 DCD
No there's nothing that he won't spin    
 GCG
No there's nothing to it do it again    
 CDC
No it's nothing but the big show    
 GCG
No there's nowhere that he won't go    
 DCD
No he never has to ask why    
 GCG
He knows it's nothing but a good ride    

BREAK: C-G-D-G-C-G-D-G


 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
 CDC
He knows it's nothing but a good ride    
 GCG
No there's nothing there he can't slide    
 DCD
No there's nothing that he won't spin    
 GCG
No there's nothing to it do it again    
 CDC
No it's nothing but the big show     
 GCG
No there's nowhere that he won't go     
 DCD
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
