Water In The Fuel

G    D   C       C6add9
Darling, I’m coming down old route number sixty seven
G   D         C   C6add9
I just got off the turnpike, avoiding the Ohio state inspection
G       D
Johnny law followed me up the road
       C      C6add9
But then he turned off and he let me go
G        D     C C6add9
I guess this old truck ain’t worth shutting down
G         D
And your voice last night on the telephone
 C        C6add9
Said you wouldn’t be there when I got home
G   D          C C6add9
So when I get to Cleveland, I’m going to head back south

G    D  C   C6add9
The light keeps coming on, I’ve got water in the fuel
G   D
My brakes are gone
       G    D
I’ve got a left front tire that’s throwing thread
     C    C6add9
By tomorrow morning I could be dead
G          D    C C6add9
Baby, maybe you been right all along


You said you couldn’t stay, with a man who was always going away

And all you wanted to do was to settle down

You wanted to buy that little trailer

Out on the edge with the money you saved

It had a carport, a color TV, and no place to turn around

Chorus




Am
Remember that winter when the lake froze over
C
We drove out there after we’d unloaded
      G        D
We revved that truck and we spun it round and round
Am
Then we left it idling out on that ice
C
Crawled in the sleeper and I held you tight
G      D      C  C6add9
Baby, I’m sure on thin ice now


Chorus
