Highlighted Show chord diagrams
------------------------------------------------
Verse 1:
D
I just rolled out of Nashville in my big rig headin' south
A G D
My eyes are on fire feels like cotton in my mouth
D
My whole body's achin' but I got to make them big wheels roll
A G D
I got to be in Florida by tomorrow morning with a full heavy load
D
I got to get passed Atlanta as soon as I can tonight
A G D
I got to try to dodge the scales and stay out of Smoky's sight
D
But there's one big thing standin' like a nightmare in my way
A G D
I got to top Monteagle Mountain a little bit later to-day
Chorus:
[ Tab from: http://www.guitaretab.com/j/johnny-cash/223216.html ]
G D
Goin' down Monteagle Mountain on I-24
A G D
It's hell for a trucker when the decil's at your door
G D
He'll tempt you and tell you come on let her roll
A G D
Cause the mountain wants your rig and trucker I want your soul
Verse 2:
D
When I started down Monteagle the brakes just wouldn't hold
A G D
I knew I was in trouble and a-bout to lose control
D
The runaway ramp was waitin' I saw the warnin' sign
A G D
I said Lord help me make it have mercy on this soul of mine
D
Well I ploughed into that runaway ramp and I could feel that big truck groan
A G D
My life flashed right before my eyes and for a minute I thought I was gone
D
But when the smoke cleared I thanked God that I was still alive
A G D
Cause when there's a runaway on Monteagle some truckers don't sur-vive
Chorus:
G
Goin' down Monteagle Mountain...
