I75 Fred Eaglesmith C - Dm - F - G C Dm Horse trailers and truckers and old station wagons F G Driven by women with too many kids C Dm And they've all been trying to leave their situation F G For years and years, but they never did. Am F And the gas pumps ring like pinball machines C Em F And the whole place smells just like tires C Dm F GC - C And the river of cars, they fall like stars, down the I75. Some long-distance trucker, hunched over the wheel Too tired to crawl into the sleeper. And he can't believe how bad he feels And how the lines on his face just get deeper. And his gearshift is stuck and he can't move his truck And he's lost between low and high And the river of cars, they fall like stars, down the I75. C - Dm - F - G (x2) Broken headlights, busted speedometers Slipping transmissions and engines that blow. And they gather like jackals around a carcass Too hungry to care to strong to let go. And the sirens wail over the hilltop Citations, warnings, and fines And the river of cars, they fall like stars, down the I75. And the river of cars, they fall like stars, down the I75. C - Dm - F - G (x2)
