King of the Highway
by Truckstop Darlin’
Standard Tuning
Capo 5th fret
FThere’s a coal minin’ town
Where the sun never sleeps
AmIt’s cold in Alaska
Her tears freeze to her cheeks
And there’s an olFd man that loves her
He’s comin’ home, lifeF or death.
FTwo months drug by
Since the day he first left
AmHe can still hear goodbye
He can still see her breath
In that craFcked sideview mirror
That he swore he’d fix Flast time
FThirty miles from home
Dogs bark and red lights flash
AmI love Marie, still tattooed on the dash
Of that jackFknifed freightliner,
Phone rings, 2 AMF
Chorus
GHail to you, yFou’re the king of the highwFay now x 2
FThat frozen hell it took him
And he ain’t coming back
AmBut her memory’s still thick
Like this ice that never cracks
It’s damnF cold in Alaska
And that sun neverF sleeps
FShe’s got his old CB box
She yells - “breaker, breaker 10”
AmWon’t you honk if you see the ghost of that truck drivin’ man
And please Ftell him that I love him, and tell Fhim this
Chorus
