[Chorus]
        E              B                 E
It's an easy ride from good times to the blues
          E               B                 A
I've been riding that old highway, flashing signs to help me choose
        E                  B     C#m             A
Yeah, I know I've done you wrong, didn't take me long
        E              B                 E      B
It's an easy ride from good times to the blues

[Verse 1]
        E               B
Driving ninety nine and making time
C#m                 A
    Hauling for the Red Ball line
  E                                 B
A hundred thousand hours behind the wheel
       E                 B
Just a little smile from you
C#m                    A
    The rig is running true
        E             B                  E    B
Took me fifty nights alone to break with you

[Chorus]
        E              B                 E
It's an easy ride from good times to the blues
          E               B                 A
I've been riding that old highway, flashing signs to help me choose
        E                  B     C#m             A
Hell, I know I've done you wrong, didn't take me long
        E              B                 E      B
It's an easy ride from good times to the blues

[Verse 2]
          E           B
Starlight Cafe out on sixty four
C#m                     A
    Waitress said she'd offer more
    E                              B
The sun was going down in her life too
       E            B
Strong coffee and a ten watt lover
C#m                A
    Looking to the rooms to cover
   E             B                     E    E7
My early morning thoughts roll back to you

[Bridge]
                 A B         E                B
I've been riding hard and my wheels call your name
      G#             C#m              A               B
Well, San Antone you summer love, how could it be the same
    E                  B
You old gray mare, you wait
C#m                A
    Said I were no saint
           E                     B                E     B
If you can live with that you're way ahead of the game
