Home to Houston Steve Earle
Capo on 1st
(Little Intro)
[D-G-D-A-D]
[D]When I pulled out of [G]Basra they [D]all wished me luck
Just like they always [A]did before[D] [A]
With a [D]bulletproof [G]screen on the [D]hood of my truck
And a Bradley on [A]my back [D]door
And I [G]wound her [A]up and [D]shifted her [G]down
And I offered this [A]prayer to my [D]lor[A]d
I said “[D]God get me [G]back home to [D]Houston alive
and I won’t drive a [A]truck any[D]more”
[G]Early in the mornin’ and I’m rollin’ fast
Haulin’ nine thousand gallons of high test gas
Sergeant on the radio hollerin’ at me
[E]Look out up ahead here come a [A]R.P.G.
[D]If I ever [G]get home to [D]Houston alive
Then I won’t drive a [A]truck any[D]more
(Just repeat the above chord changes for the rest of the song)
I’ve driven the big rigs for all of my life
And my radio handle’s “Train”
Down steep mountain roads on the darkest of nights
I had ice water in my veins
And I come over here ‘cause I just didn’t care
Now I’m older and wiser by far
If I ever get home to Houston alive
Then I won’t drive a truck anymore
[G]Great God A’mighty what was wrong with me
I know the money’s good but buddy can’t you see
You can’t take it with you and that ain’t no lie
[E]I don’t wanna let ‘em get me I’m too [A]young to die
[D]If I ever [G]get home to [D]Houston alive
Then I won’t drive a [A]truck any[D]more
