Car Wheels On A Gravel Road

D Am D Am D Am G


[Verse 1]

D             Am        D        Am
Sittin in the kitchen a house in Macon
D         Am                 C    G
Loretta's singing on the radio
D        Am     C        G
Smell of coffee eggs and bacon
    D   Am             C      G
Car wheels on a gravel road

D        Am                D       Am
Pull back the curtains and look outside
D        Am                C        G
Somebody somewhere I don't know
D           Am                C        G
Come on now child we're gonna go for a ride
    D   Am             C      G
Car wheels on a gravel road


[Chorus]

    C                  G
Car wheels on a gravel road
    C                  G
Car wheels on a gravel road


[Interlude]

[Verse 2]

D             Am        D        Am
Can't find a damn thing in this place
D                 Am        C    G
Nothing's where I left it before
D      Am         C         G
Set of keys and a dusty suitcase
    D    Am            C     G
Car wheels on a gravel road

D              Am          D        Am
There goes the screen door slamming shut
D          Am             C         G
You better do what you're told
D          Am                     C         G
When I get back this place better be picked-up
    D    Am            C      G
Car wheels on a gravel road


[Chorus]

    C                  G
Car wheels on a gravel road
    C                  G
Car wheels on a gravel road

[Verse 3]

D          Am     D            Am
Low hum of voices in the front seat
D       Am     C      G
Stories nobody knows
D            Am            C        G
Got folks in Jackson we're going to meet
    D    Am            C      G
Car wheels on a gravel road
D      Am                D         Am
Cotton fields stretching miles and miles
D      Am               C       G
Hank's voice on the radio
D         Am              C         G
Telephone poles trees and wires fly by
    D    Am            C      G
Car wheels on a gravel road


[Chorus]

    C                  G
Car wheels on a gravel road
    C                  G
Car wheels on a gravel road

[Verse 4]

D           Am     D      Am
Broken down shacks engine parts
D            Am                     C     G
Could tell a lie but my heart would know
D             Am          C      G
Listen to the dogs barkin in the yard
    D    Am            C      G
Car wheels on a gravel road
D            Am             D            Am
Child in the backseat about four or five years
D      Am         C     G
Lookin out the window
D             Am   C          G
Little bit of dirt mixed with tears
    D    Am            C      G
Car wheels on a gravel road


[Chorus]

    C                  G
Car wheels on a gravel road
    C                  G
Car wheels on a gravel road
