Crack of dawn I hit the road, set my shoulders for the heavy load
	C			 G  C G
Coffee leaking through the paper sack
G				C G
The foreman says I'm late again, he can't stand it when I only grin
	    C				    G   C  G
He's got me eight hours, she's got me after that
  D
I can't wait 'til it's quittin' time

She got something cookin' for me tonight.

Out of gas, just my luck, four bald tires on my pickup truck

But she'll be burning in my mind
