There is another part that Warren Haynes uses during this part.
He uses it to emphasize the power that this riff has.

Drive on
Until I get there
I got to drive one
Until I get there
I'm a ram, yes I am
I know just what to do
I keep on pushin baby
Until I get next to you

A|-------------10-10-9---10---12--|
E|-10---10---10-------------------|
next two verses:
I'm a ram, yes I am
And you are what I lack
I keep on pushin' you baby
You keep on pushin' me back
The ram caught in a bush
Needs to be free
Well somebody, I said
Come on, it's about me
So these are all the parts to the song. I am not going to tab the solo becuase i feel
should be your own creation when playing. IMPROVISE!!!
