[Verse 1]
      C                 Dm    G
We're travelling down a bumpy road
        C             Dm      G
Just relaxing let the miles unfold
        F                                  Am          G
Nothing brings a family together like some dust in the eye
          Bb                      G              C      Dm G
And we'll be there in the nick of time me and my family

[Verse 2]
      C            Dm     G
We're smiling at a steady pace
                C                        Dm        G
Your daughter's crying Missouri's such a beautiful state
       F                              Am          G
And it feels like every day's another Fourth of July
         Bb                      G                C
I got my freedom and my slice of pie my beautiful family

[Verse 3]
                                          Csus Bbsus
Now come on kids it's time that we play a game
                                     Csus Bbsus
I spy some fun out here on the Great Plains
Ab                Fm
Stop for a second take it all in
                           Cm7
"Are we there yet?" Is the wrong question
    Cm7 N.C.
You thought road trips were lame
                        F7sus
Well they all ain't the same oh no

[Chorus]
         Csus              Bb
It's the grind take it one day at a time
          Eb       F7       C
And we'll find our way back home
           Am7             Bb
Free your mind push your worries down the line
          Eb      F7       C
And we'll ease on down the road

[Verse 4]
C5 N.C.                                C5
   Stop and look around do the chimney rock
C5 N.C.                               C5
Dad that totally looks like a giant co- Cock-a-doodle-do!
  Ab
I wish there was something that could capture this moment
Fm
Something that fits right into your pocket
    Cm7 N.C                       F7sus
But we got time to kick the idea around. Oh boy!

[Chorus]
         Csus        Bb
It's the grind every bump by design
   Eb        F7           C
To grow some hair on your chest
        Am7
Fall in line let your dad read the signs
           Bb               F7             C
Who's Your Daddy Tour Guide Company of the Wild Wild West

[Verse 5]
    C           Dm      G
I'm trying to enjoy the trip
        C           Dm     G
I'm babysitting but not my kids
    F                                 Am        G
Sometimes I wonder what the hell goes on in his head
         F                    Am          G
Would he notice if any one of us wound up dead
       F             F7                 Am     G
Who'm I kidding Lord knows he'd kill himself instead
      Bb                           G                C
Can't say I'd tell a difference in bed my beautiful family

[Chorus]
                      Bb                    F                     Bb
Dad I wanna keep this as a pet! Throw it in back! Do that and you will regret it!
   C5         Db5  D5               Eb5        F7   G
We need a few souvenirs to prove we passed the test   I think I'm gonna throw up
          Csus
If you're motion sick then get off the cart
    Csus
And give the soles of your feet a shot
C5            Db5        D5          Eb5      F7    G
Nothing quite cures your ills like a song and dance
         Csus            C F
