An Old Greyhound
by Hoyt Axton
[Verse]
G D
An old grey-hound named the "Honey-suckle Rose"
C G
She's the only woman I really love.
G D
She's a four speed lady and she rolls real easy
C G
there's tequila in the driver she loves.
[Chorus]
C G
And we ride all night in the pale moon light
D G
singing to the stars above.
C G
And the smokey 'round the curve, well he ain't got the nerve
D G
to mess with the woman I love.
[Verse]
G D
She's got a Detroit diesel, and an air cushion ride,
C G
and she smokes at the top of the hill.
G D
She's got an over-sized load, and a two-lane road,
C G
and she don't have time to kill.
[Chorus]
C G
Northbound, southbound, eastbound, west.
D G
Racing trucks and doin' our best.
C G
Four-lane freeways we love best.
D G
The highway is our home.
[Verse]
G D
Well, I think I better find me a good truck stop,
C G
got a cup of coffee on my mind.
G D
Got a travelin' band doing one night stands,
C D
and they love it when the gears don't grind.
[Chorus]
C G
And the way we love, is the way we live.
D G
And the way we sing, is the way we give.
C G
Don't give a damn who you think we am,
D G
we're being who we are.
[Instrumental]
[Verse]
G D
There's a wreck on the road, on the nine mile grade,
C G
but the Honey-suckle Rose don't mind.
G D
'Cause she knows that I love her, and I never would let her go
C G
Flying down the highway blind.
[Chorus]
C G
Just the Rose and me and my old CB
D G
with the handle of the Golden Bear.
C G
From the shaky city to the Tennessee line,
D G
10-4's gonna get us there.
[Outro]
C G
And the way we love is the way we live
D G
And the way we sing is the way we give.
C G
Don't give a damn who you think we am,
D G
We're being who we are.
C G
And we ride all night in the pale moon light
D G
singing to the stars above.
C G
And the smokey 'round the curve, well he ain't got the nerve,
D G
to mess with the woman I love,
D G
Don't mess with the woman I love.
D G
Don't mess with the woman I love.
