Dont Go To Sleep On The Road

C C Well, big John Henry Rucker F He was a greasy motor trucker G C And he drove them big ol' diesels to L.A C Every night he'd leave Mobile F His darlin' wife, Camille G She would kiss him in his driveway C And she'd say N.C. She'd say: C G Don't go to sleep on the road, baby (I won't) G C Don't go to sleep on the road (Lord, protect me) C F Take what it takes (uh huh) to keep you awake G C But don't go to sleep on the road. C F Then Camille started singin' country music for a fling G C Well you know a girl can't stay too long alone. C First for friends C And then in bars F Then she soon became a star G And sometimes he'd hear her record C As he drove N.C. Singin': C G Don't go to sleep on the road, baby G C Don't go to sleep on the road (Tears in his eyes) C F Take what it takes (I will) to keep you awake G C But don't go to sleep on the road. C F Yes... and her records started movin' up the charts G And became number one C And she got.. she got entertainer of the year C And she got her hair done F And got a boob job F G And got her an affair with the bass player. C And he got hemorrhoids. C He was drivin' hell for leather F Through the California weather G C When that California sky began to rain C And that hill was wet and steep F Oh, he sure could use some sleep G C But his darlin's words kept ringin' through his brain. C That eastbound rig was hummin' F Lord, he never seen it comin' G C And he woke up starin' at the sky C In the wreck and in the rain F With the radio still playin' G N.C. C And the last words that he heard before he died N.C. Was Camille Still singin': C G Don't go to sleep on the road, baby (What a way to die) G C Don't go to sleep on the road C F Take what it takes to keep you awake G C But don't go to sleep on the road. G C Yes he went to sleep on the rooooooad.
