Verse 1:
[G]Here at a [D]truck stop in [Dmaj7]New Mexico [Em]just before d[G]dawn
Somebody's [D]grandma behind the [Dmaj7]wheel of a big rig
[Em]Pulling in with her [G]headlights on
[G]We smoke a cigarette as the [D]sunrise runs riot
[Gb]Someone's got [G]to break the quiet
And she[D]And she says, "What are you doing here anyway?"
And I [Asus4]smile and say, "You'd never guess"[A]guess"
She holds it [Em]up for me by its skinny white shoulder straps

Mr. Steven [D]Tyler is on the [Dmaj7]overhead speakers [Em]
He doesn't want to miss a thing[G]thing
Out there at the counter[G]counter
Blending [D]in with the lunchtime crowd[Gb]crowd
Trying not to [G]laugh out loud
I eat [D]half my crispy chicken club
I get [Asus4]extra mayonnaise, it's a mess[A]mess
I take the [Em]other half out to the parking lot with me

Pop the [G]trunk[A]trunk and take a picture of [D]my dress[A]dress [G]

It may be a [D]long while [Dmaj7]before the highway
[Em]Decides to finally set me free [G]
I'm going to have to [D]chase down the [Dmaj7]remnants
[Em]Of something special that you stole from me[G]me
[G]It may be hiding in the sunset, or in [D]distant corners of the dawn[Gb]dawn
[G]Or maybe it's gone [Gm]
But I [D]say some prayers above the engine
I bless [Asus4]everything there is to bless [A]
Run out of [Em]gas in the middle of nowhere anyway
Stand there by the [G]roadside [A]smiling

And take a picture of [D]my dress[A]dress [G]
