Home to Houston 

Capo on 1st 

(Little Intro)
D-G-D-A-D

D                    G          D 
When I pulled out of Basra they all wished me luck 
                      A         D   A
Just like they always did before 
       D           G             D    
With a bulletproof screen on the hood of my truck 
                 A       D
And a Bradley on my back door 
      G         A      D           G
And I wound her up and shifted her down 
                   A            D  A     
And I offered this prayer to my lord 
        D          G            D
I said �God get me back home to Houston alive 
                    A        D
and I won�t drive a truck anymore� 
G
Early in the mornin� and I�m rollin� fast 
Haulin� nine thousand gallons of high test gas 
Sergeant on the radio hollerin� at me 
E                             A
Look out up ahead here come a R.P.G. 
D         G           D                    
If I ever get home to Houston alive 
                     A        D
Then I won�t drive a truck anymore 

(Just repeat the above chord changes for the rest of the song)

I�ve driven the big rigs for all of my life 
And my radio handle�s �Train� 
Down steep mountain roads on the darkest of nights 
I had ice water in my veins 
And I come over here �cause I just didn�t care 
Now I�m older and wiser by far 
If I ever get home to Houston alive 
Then I won�t drive a truck anymore 
G
Great God A�mighty what was wrong with me 
I know the money�s good but buddy can�t you see 
You can�t take it with you and that ain�t no lie 
E                                    A
I don�t wanna let �em get me I�m too young to die 
D         G           D
If I ever get home to Houston alive 
                     A        D
Then I won�t drive a truck anymore
