Under The Spell Of Highway One

A
I got this big rig rollin' down Highway One,
                                             E    G A
Heading South from the Northern Queensland sun.

I got a woman playing on my mind,
F#m
I'm in a mess and there's just no time
    D                                          A
to think about things and the way in might of been.

The white line cast fits deadly spell on me,
                                                E    G A
I need some strong black coffee and a bight to eat.

Been on the road since late last week,
F#m
I really need a good night sleep,
    D                          A
And maybe I'll begin to understand.


G                   D
Slippin' under the spell of the Highway,
A
I feel I'm gonna go under,
G             D                 A
I feel like a man who's on the run.
G                   D
Slippin' under the spell of the Highway,
A
My heart is beating like thunder,
G                   D                 A
Slippin' under the spell of Highway One.


A
Been pushing this old rig more than I should,
                                   E     G A
I'd give the game away if only I could.

I've got a king sized overdraft,
F#m
And a woman who haunts me from the past,
    D                                           A
And I'm beginning to wonder if it's all worthwhile.

Gotta get this load in right on time,
                                          E     G A
I can't afford to loose this contract of mine.

I'm praying this old rig will last,
F#m
I'm loosing concentration fast,
         D                                  A
And if tomorrow ever comes it won't be too late.


G                   D
Slippin' under the spell of the Highway,
A
I feel I'm gonna go under,
G             D                 A
I feel like a man who's on the run.
G                   D
Slippin' under the spell of the Highway,
A
My heart is beating like thunder,
G                   D                 A
Slippin' under the spell of Highway One.

Slippin' under the spell of the Highway,

I feel I'm gonna go under,

I feel like a man who's on the run.

My heart is beating like thunder,

Slippin' under the spell of Highway One.
