[Verse]
G7
I drive a broke-down rig on "may-pop" tires
C7 G7
Forty foot of over load
A lot of people say that I'm crazy
C7 G7
Because I don't know how to take it slow
I got a broomstick on the throttle
C7 G7
I got her opened up and head right down
E7
Nonstop back to Dallas
Am7 D7 G7
Poppin' them West Coast turnarounds
[Chorus]
E7
And they call me Speedball, Speedball Tucker
Terror of the highways, and all them other truckers
G7 C7
Will tell you that the boy is mad
A7 D7 G7
To be drivin' in a rig like that
[Verse]
G7
You know the rain may blow, the snow may snow
C7 G7
The turnpikes, they may freeze
But they don't bother old Speedball
C7 G7
He goin' any damn way he please
He got a broomstick on the throttle
C7 G7
To keep his throttle foot a-dancin' 'round
E7
With a cup full of cold black coffee
Am7 D7 G7
And a pocketful of West Coast turnarounds
[Chorus]
E7
And they call me Speedball, Speedball Tucker
Terror of the highways, and all them other truckers
G7 C7
Will tell you that the boy is mad
A7 D7 G7
To be drivin' in a rig like that
[Verse]
G7
One day I looked into my rear-view mirror
C7 G7
And comin' up from behind
There was a Georgia state policeman
C7 G7
And a hundred dollar fine
Well he looked me in the eye as he was writin' me up
C7 G7
He said, "Driver, you've been flyin'
E7
And ninety-five was the route you were on
Am7 D7 G7
It was not the speed limit sign."
[Chorus]
E7
And they call me Speedball, Speedball Tucker
Terror of the highways, and all them other truckers
G7 C7
Will tell you that the boy is mad
A7 D7 G7
To be drivin' in a rig like that
E7
And they call me Speedball, Speedball Tucker
Terror of the highways, and all them other truckers
