    Well he’s TRUCKIN' on down from memphis
    Cruisin’ down to new orleans
    Tonight he sleeps alone with a cajun queen
    Well there’s smoke from the stacks a-blowin’
    And he don’t care where he’s goin’
    The only time he feels right is when he’s rollin’
    He’s got roadmaps in his hand
    Lord, drivin’ just as hard as he can
    Trying to dodge them scales and the MAN
    Well I’m talkin’ about
    TRUCK DRIVIN' MAN
    Yea he’ll always give ya, the best that he can.

    White cups and coffee, lord yea
    Its all that he needs
    And he’s all right by me
    TRUCK DRIVIN' MAN

    From the soundtrack to Mellencamp's movie "Falling from Grace" - honestly one of the prettiest pieces I've heard:

    "Cradle of the Interstate" by Nanci Griffith

    Capo Third Fret, preferably on a 12-string acoustic


    Intro: G Cmaj7 Fmaj7 C/G

    G Cmaj7
    It's crystal breakin' in the light of day
    Fmaj7 C/G
    It's the heat of the moon that's gone it's way
    G Cmaj7
    And everybody's packin' their wings to fly home
    Fmaj7 D G Cmaj7
    Fmaj7 C/G
    Leavin' me here in the cradle of the interstate alone.

    G Cmaj7
    And fair-weathered friends are a damned disease
    Fmaj7 C/G
    They drink my wine and take my money
    G Cmaj7
    Fools are reachin' for a dim spotlight shine
    Fmaj7
    If you want that shine
    D G Cmaj7
    Fmaj7 C/G
    You're gonna have to write your own damn lines.

    Fmaj7 Cmaj7
    It turns a warm heart cold
    Bm C G Cmaj7 Fmaj7 C
    Hey, clear this road--and let me by.

    G Cmaj7
    I got fog in the foothills of Tennessee
    Fmaj7 C/G
    It's the catskill mountains and the blue ridge behind me
    G Cmaj7
    Toppin' my list on all I need
    Fmaj7 D G
    Cmaj7 Fmaj7 C/G
    It's a warm cup of COFFEE and a bottle of whiskey beside me.

    G Cmaj7 Fmaj7 C

    G Cmaj7
    I work so hard to build this livin
    Fmaj7 C/G
    In a business of hard lines where nobody's sharin'
    G Cmaj7
    Fools chase the tails of that top 40 flight
    Fmaj7
    Hell, the only friend that holds me
    D G Cmaj7 Fmaj7 C/G
    Is the cradle of the interstate at night.

    Fmaj7 Cmaj7
    It turns a warm heart cold
    Bm C G Cmaj7 Fmaj7 C
    Hey, clear this road--and let me by.

    G Cmaj7
    It's crystal breakin' in the light of day
    Fmaj7 C/G
    It's the heat of the moon that's gone it's way
    G Cmaj7
    And everybody's packin' their wings to fly home
    Fmaj7 D G
    Leavin' me here in the cradle of the interstate alone.
    G Cmaj7 Fmaj7 D G
    Lullab-y, roll me gently in this cradle of the interstate home. (3x)
    G Cmaj7 Fmaj7 C/G
    Ooo Ooo Ooo Ooo.

    My bulldog is barking in the backyard
    Enough to raise a dead man from his grave
    And I can’t concentrate on what I’m doing
    Disturbance going to crucify my days

    And the days they get longer and longer
    And the nighttime is a time of little use
    For I just get ugly and older
    I get juiced on mateus and just hang loose

    And I get bombed for breakfast in the morning
    I get bombed for dinner time and tea
    I dress in rags, smell a lot, and have a real good time
    I’m a genuine example of a social DISEASE

    My landlady lives in a caravan
    Well that is when she isn’t in my arms
    And it seems I pay the rent in human kindness
    But my liquor also helps to grease her palms

    And the ladies are all getting wrinkles
    And they’re falling apart at the seams
    Well I just get high on tequila
    And see visions of vineyards in my dreams

    I was born in the back seat
    Of a travellin' hurricane
    I came up in the back streets
    The city with no name
    I was raised on trouble
    Rock when I should roll
    I never could control it
    And I can't be controlled

    [CHORUS]
    I am what I am
    I am the back door slam

    When I walk down the streets
    The streetlights go out
    When I drive through your town
    The dogs start to howl
    I stand in the shadows
    Sparks are in my hair
    When i open up my mouth
    My voice fills the air

    People say
    I'm charming
    People say
    I'm alarming
    People can feel
    the disturbance around me
    I don't care what they say they see

    I'm the dust in your broom
    100 proof everclear
    I'm the crack in your ceiling
    Thump you think you hear
    I'm a 3am phone call
    Tank of gasoline
    I'm a siren stopping
    At the end of your street

    ]
    People say
    Strange
    People say
    I'm dangerous
    People can feel
    That a deal was struck
    Save my soul and
    Make my own luck

    I was born in the city
    A city with no shame
    And when I play guitar
    They all know my name

    [CHORUS]
    I am what I am
    I am the back door slam
    I am what I am
    I am the back door slam

    "LOUD"

    Sixteen, I found my dream machine
    Turn the key and every light turned green
    Like Steve McQueen I made the motor scream
    And it was loud, yeah

    Me and the boys would drive around
    We searched the dial until we found
    One song we didn't want to turn down
    And it was loud

    Hear us comin' from a mile away
    Like rollin' thunder on judgment day, yeah
    Hear us comin' from a mile away
    Faster than the law allowed

    And we were loud, loud like a HURRICANE
    Loud like a roarin' train
    It sure was loud, uh, huh

    Yeah, and I remember ol' what's his name, wooh
    Young and bold, I took my aim
    She lost control when she came
    It was loud, yeah

    Well, hear it comin' from a mile away
    She sure made a boy a man that day
    Hear it comin' from a mile away
    I made my daddy proud

    Well, she was loud
    Loud like a dirty dream, hmm
    Loud like a siren scream, wooh
    She was loud


    She was loud
    Like a trashcan cherry bomb, yeah
    Like a storm before the calm, wooh
    She was loud

    Well, I live my life at full volume
    I live my life cranked to ten
    The needle's in the red again
    Yeah, yeah, yeah, in the red again
    Yeah, yeah, yeah

    Here tonight, it's crystal clear
    Red hot lights and a hometown cheer
    All my life I've dreamed of standin' right here

    Yeah, it was loud
    Wooh, like a super bowl
    Led Zeppelin playin' rock and roll
    Yeah, it was loud

    Loud like a trashcan cherry bomb
    Like a storm before the calm
    It was loud, yeah, yeah

    It was loud
    Loud like a hurricane
    Loud like a roarin' train
    Yeah, it was loud

    Trashcan cherry bomb
    Loud like Vietnam baby
    Sure was loud

    It's getting late have you seen my mates
    Ma tell me when the boys get here
    It's seven o'clock and I want to rock
    Want to get a belly full of beer

    My old man's drunker than a barrel full of monkeys
    And my old lady she don't care
    My sister looks cute in her braces and boots
    A handful of grease in her hair

    chorus
    Don't give us none of your aggravation
    We had it with your discipline
    Saturday night's alright for FIGHTING
    Get a little action in

    Yes yes, you're right of course. Elton does the music, but Bernie wrote the words. Heavy duty words at that. Thanks for the reminder...

    Born to Run (Words & Music by Bruce Springsteen).

    In the day we sweat it out in the streets of a runaway American dream
    At night we ride through mansions of glory in suicide machines
    Sprung from cages out on highway 9,
    Chrome wheeled, fuel injected
    and steppin' out over the line
    Baby this town rips the bones from your back
    It's a death trap, it's a suicide rap
    We gotta get out while we're young
    'Cause tramps like us, baby we were born to run

    AMERICAN Girls and AMERICAN Guys
    We'll always stand up and salute
    We'll always recognize
    When we see Ole Glory Flying
    There's a lot of men dead
    So we can sleep in peace at night
    When we lay down our head

    My daddy served in the army
    Where he lost his right eye
    But he flew a flag out in our yard
    Till the day that he died
    He wanted my mother, my brother, my sister and me
    To grow up and live happy
    In the land of the free.

    Now this nation that I love
    Has fallen under attack
    A mighty sucker punch came flying in
    From somewhere in the back
    Soon as we could see clearly
    Through our big black eye
    Man, we lit up your world
    Like the 4th of July

    Hey Uncle Sam
    Put your name at the top of his list
    And the Statue of Liberty
    Started shaking her fist
    And the eagle will fly
    And there's gonna be hell
    When you hear Mother Freedom
    Start ringing her bell
    And itll feel like the whole wide world is raining down on you
    Ahhh Brought to you Courtesy of the Red White and Blue

    Ohhh Justice will be served
    And the battle will rage
    This big dog will fight
    When you rattle his cage
    And you'll be sorry that you messed with
    The U.S. of A.
    'Cause we'll put a boot in your *kitten*
    It's the AMERICAN way

    Hey Uncle Sam
    Put your name at the top of his list
    And the Statue of Liberty
    Started shaking her fist
    And the eagle will fly
    And there's gonna be hell
    When you hear Mother Freedom
    Start ringing her bell
    And itll feel like the whole wide world is raining down on you
    Brought to you Courtesy of the Red White and Blue

    Uhhh Ohhh
    Of the Red, White and Blue
    Ohhh Ohh Oh
    Of My Red, White and Blue

    I want to fly like an EAGLE
    To the sea
    Fly like an EAGLE

    Well, I met her in the garden
    Underneath that old apple tree
    Sitting with a handful of flowers
    Looking as cool as can be
    We talked away a couple of hours
    Then she laid her hand on my lap
    Oh, I thought I got to be dreaming
    I didn't know I fell in her trap

    Then she made me say things I didn't want to say
    Then she made me play games I didn't want to play
    She was a soul stripper, she took my heart
    Soul stripper, and tore me apart
    She started moving nice and easy
    Slowly getting into my spine
    Killing off this nice little feeling
    Ooooh, everyone she could find
    And when she had me hollow and naked
    That's when she put me down
    Pulled out a knife and flashed it before me
    Stuck it in and turned it around

    Daylight, alright
    I don't know, I don't know if it's real
    Been a long night and something ain't right
    You won't show, you won't show how you feel

    No time ever seems right
    To talk about the reasons why you and I fight
    It's high time to draw the line
    Put an end to this game before it's too late

    Head GAMES , it's you and me baby
    Head GAMES, and I can't take it anymore

    DOWNBOUND TRAIN
    -Bruce Springsteen
    Em G DEm G
    I had a job, I had a girl
    D I had something going mister in this world
    Em G
    I got laid off down at the lumber yard
    D
    Our love went bad, times got hard
    C D
    Now I work down at the carwash
    Em
    Where all it ever does is rain
    C D Em G D
    Don't you feel like you're a rider on a downbound train

    Em G
    She just said "Joe I gotta go
    D
    We had it once we ain't got it any more"
    Em G
    She packed her bags left me behind
    D
    She bought a ticket on the Central Line
    C D
    Nights as I sleep, I hear that whistle whining
    Em
    I feel her kiss in the misty rain
    C D Em G D
    And I feel like I'm a rider on a downbound train

    Em G D Em G
    Last night I heard your voice
    D
    You were crying, crying, you were so alone
    Em G
    You said your love had never died
    D
    You were waiting for me at home
    Em G
    Put on my jacket, I ran through the woods
    D
    I ran till I thought my chest would explode
    Em G
    There in the clearing, beyond the highway
    D
    In the moonlight, our wedding house shone
    Em G
    I rushed through the yard, I burst through the front door
    D
    My head pounding hard, upstairs I climbed
    Em G
    The room was dark, our bed was empty
    D
    Then I heard that long whistle whine
    C G
    And I dropped to my knees, hung my head and cried
    C D

    Now I swing a hammer on a road gang
    Em
    Knocking down them cross ties, working in the rain
    C D Em G
    D Em G D
    Now don't it feel like you're a rider on a downbound train

    Well, I just got out of the county prison doin'
    90 days for nonsupport
    Tried to find me an executice position
    but no matter how smooth I talk
    They wouldn't listen to the fact that I was a genius
    the man said we got all that we can use
    Now I got them steadily deppressin', low-down mind-messin'
    workin' at the CARWASH blues

    Too many dirty dishes in the sink for just us two
    I said, too many dirty dishes in the sink for just us two
    You got me wonderin' baby
    Who's makin' dirty dishes with you?

    I get up an' go to work in the mo'nin'
    I come right home at night
    When I leave the sink is empty
    When I come back home
    She got 'em stacked up out of sight

    Too many dirty dishes in the sink just for us two
    Well you got me wonderin' baby,
    Who's makin' dirty dishes with you?


    Look at this kitchen!
    Pots an' pans, ev'rywhere, it's pitiful!
    Look at all these glasses layin' all up on the sink!
    Looks like she even had a party up in here, too
    You wait 'til I see this woman, when she get home

    That glass over there, got a cigar in it or sump'in
    I don't smoke no cigar
    Um, servin' caviar
    I don't eat no caviar
    What's wrong with this woman?
    All these pots in here, gonna run me some water right here

    Yeah now, you wait 'til I see this woman when she get home
    Pots 'n pans all stacked up here
    There's a pot, let me scrap this pot out

    Oh it's pitiful an' I don't know why this woman come an' have a party
    When I'm at work

    Gettin' all this stuff under my fingernails,
    Run some more water in here
    Yeah, now I can wash these glasses out, wash them up first

    Yeah, that's pretty clean now, though
    Now I got all this, now I gotta work on these pots a little bit more
    Makes me so mad, I don't know what to do

    Thought I was her husband, 'stead a maid!

    Like ol red chili or somethin' all done got dried up on all these pots

    She never fix me none of this good food!

    You wait 'til that woman get home, I'm scrappin' all these pots for her


    I've done your dirty dishes
    How much am I suppose to take?
    When I left I had corn flakes for breakfast
    Now there's a bone from a T-bone steak

    Too many dirty dishes in the sink for just us two
    You've got me wonderin' baby
    Who in the hell is makin' dirty dishes with you?

    Revvin' up your engine
    Listen to her howlin' roar
    Metal under tension
    Beggin' you to touch and go
    Highway to the DANGER Zone
    Ride into the DANGER Zone
    Headin' into twilight
    Spreadin' out her wings tonight
    She got you jumpin' off the track
    And shovin' into overdrive
    Highway to the DANGER Zone
    I'll take you
    Right into the DANGER Zone
    You'll never say hello to you
    Until you get it on the red line overload
    You'll never know what you can do
    Until you get it up as high as you can go
    Out along the edges
    Always where I burn to be
    The further on the edge
    The hotter the intensity
    Highway to the DANGER Zone
    Gonna take you
    Right into the DANGER Zone
    Highway to the DANGER Zone

    ============Copperhead Road Steve Earle===

    []
    [D] Well, my name's John Lee Peddimore.
    Same as my daddy and his daddy's before.
    You hardly ever saw grandaddy down here.
    He'd only come to town about twice a year.
    To buy a hundred pounds o' yeast and some copper line.
    Everybody knew that we made moonshine.

    [G] Now, the revenuer man wanted granddaddy bad.
    [D] Headed up the holler with everything he had.
    [G] Before my time, but I've been told.
    [D] He never come back from Copperhead Road.
    []
    [D] My daddy ran the whisky in a big block Dodge.
    Bought it at an auction at the Mason's Lodge.
    Johnson County Sheriff painted on the side.
    Just shot coat of primer, then he looked inside.
    Well, him and my uncle tore that ENGINE down.
    I still remember that rumbling sound.
    [G] Then the sheriff came around in the middle of the nite.
    [D] Heard momma crying that something wasn't rite.
    [G] He was headed down to Knoxville with the weekly load.
    [D] You could smell the whisky burning down Copperhead Road.
    []
    *Bridge*
    []
    [D] I volunteered for the army on my birthday.
    They draft the white trash first, round hear anyway.
    I done two tours of duty in Viet Nam.
    I came home with a brand new plan.
    I take the seed from Columbia and Mexico.
    I just plant it up a holler down Copperhead Road.
    [G] Now the D.E.A.'s got a chopper in the air.
    [D] I wake up screamin' like I'm back over there.
    [G] I learned a thing or two from Charlie, don't you know.
    [D] You better stay away from Copperhead Road.

    Ha. Copperhead Road

    I'm going to take some liberty with the word match here. COPPERHEAD = COPPERLINE

    Because it's a great song. :tongue: I like Copperhead Road too.

    James Taylor - Copperline

    Even the old folks never knew
    Why they call it like they do
    I was wondering since the age of two
    Down on copperline
    Copper head, copper beech
    Copper kettles sitting side by each
    Copper coil, cup o'georgia peach
    Down on copperline
    Half a mile down to morgan creek
    Leaning heavy on the end of the week
    Hercules and a hog-nosed snake
    Down on copperline
    We were down on copperline

    One summer night on the copperline
    Slip away past supper time
    Wood smoke and moonshine
    Down on copperline
    One time I saw my daddy dance
    Watched him moving like a man in a trance
    He brought it back from the war in france
    Down onto copperline
    Branch water and tomato wine
    Creosote and turpentine
    Sour mash and new moon shine
    Down on copperline
    Down on copperline

    First kiss ever I took
    Like a page from a romance book
    The sky opened and the earth shook
    Down on copperline
    Down on copperline
    Took a fall from a windy height
    I only knew how to hold on tight
    And pray for love enough to last all night
    Down on copperline
    Day breaks and the boys wakes up
    And the dog barks and the birds sings
    And the sap rises and the angels sigh, yeah

    I tried to go back, as if I could
    All spec house and plywood
    Tore up and tore up good
    Down on copperline
    It doesn't come as a surprise to me
    It doesn't touch my memory
    Man I'm lifting up and rising free
    Down on over copperline
    Half a mile down to morgan creek
    I'm only living for the end of the week
    Hercules and a hog-nosed snake
    Down on copperline, yeah
    Take me down on copperline
    Oh, down on copperline
    Take me down on copperline

    Your momma don't dance and your daddy don't Rock and Roll
    Your momma don't dance and your daddy don't Rock and Roll
    When evenin' rolls around and it's time to go to town
    Where do you go - To Rock and Roll

    The OLD FOLKS say that ya gotta end your date by ten
    If you're out on a date and you bring her home late,it's a sin
    There just ain't no excuse and you know you're gonna lose you never win
    I'll say it again

    After The Glitter Fades
    G C D
    Well I never thought I'd make it here in Hollywood,
    G C D
    I never thought I'd ever wanna stay
    .G C D
    What I seem to touch these days has turned to gold.
    C D G
    What I seem to want, well you know I'll find away.

    CHORUS:
    C D G
    For me it's the only life I'll ever know,
    C D G
    and love is only one fine star away.
    C D G
    Even though the living is sometimes laced with lies,
    C D G
    it's alright, the feeling remains even after the glitter fades.

    The loneliness of a one night stand is hard to take.
    We all chase something and maybe this is a dream.
    The timeless face of a ROCK AND ROLL woman, while her heart breaks.
    Oh you know, the dream keeps coming even when you forget to feel.

    CHORUS:
    CHORUS:
    Oh you know, the dream keeps coming even when you forget to feel.
    Oh you know, the dream keeps coming even when you forget to feel.

    ((Stevie Nicks on the brain today guys. I'll play these tonight))

    American WOMAN, stay away from me
    American WOMAN, mamma let me be

    Don't come hangin' round my door
    I don't wanna see your face no more
    I got more important things to do
    Than spend my time growin' old with you
