King of the Highway
by Truckstop Darlin’
Standard Tuning
Capo 5th fret
GThere’s a coal minin’ town
Where the sun never sleeps
EmIt’s cold in Alaska
Her tears freeze to her cheeks
And there’s an olCd man that loves her
He’s comin’ home, lifeG or death.
GTwo months drug by
Since the day he first left
EmHe can still hear goodbye
He can still see her breath
In that craCcked sideview mirror
That he swore he’d fix Glast time
GThirty miles from home
Dogs bark and red lights flash
EmI love Marie, still tattooed on the dash
Of that jackCknifed freightliner,
Phone rings, 2 AMG
Chorus
DHail to you, yCou’re the king of the highwGay now x 2
GThat frozen hell it took him
And he ain’t coming back
EmBut her memory’s still thick
Like this ice that never cracks
It’s damnC cold in Alaska
And that sun neverG sleeps
GShe’s got his old CB box
She yells - “breaker, breaker 10”
EmWon’t you honk if you see the ghost of that truck drivin’ man
And please Ctell him that I love him, and tell Ghim this
Chorus
