Roadside Prayer Chords

Standard (EADGBE)

Em C D

(verse 1)

 IC'm broke dowGn

 On SprinCg Creek road G

 MakesC me wonder G

 Why I'm trying Dto go home G

But I left her behind

I had things to do

Just a long distance phone call

To say I miss you

But I got her recorder

The phone took my till

I'm a dime short of a cola

And this machine won't take bills

So I sit down and wait

Diesel smoke and noise

Ignored all the comments

Of a few local boys

(chorus)

 I wisCh I was backG home with my friends and a bDeer. G

 At the WormyC Dog bar, TheGre's none like itD out here G

 I'd giCve my last DollaGr to back oDn the road Em

 There's 200 Cmiles behind mGe and too many more to gDo. G

 There's 200 Cmiles behind mGe and too many more to gDo. G

Em C D

(verse 2)

There's a warm case of Pearl

In my back seat

But it ain't going to help

Beat this highway heat

But the suns finally sinking

Gives me a hand

I don't ask for much

I guess you take what you can

The truckers keep on rollin

If this car wasn't my dad's

I leave the keys in it

And climb in the cab

I got oil on my hands

And grease in my hair

I'm stuck out here singing

This Roadside Prayer

(chorus)

(verse 3)

I doubt that I'll make it

In time for last call

There'll be no after hours

In trouble with the law

And Red's in his new room

In THC bliss

Ted's drunk as hell

You know Benny's pissed

And Neil's watchin wrestling

Hillary and Clay are up in bed

I throw down the bottle

And roll a number instead

(chorus)
