Chris Knight - Long black highway

Me and ^GBilly ^C were roofers of ^Ghouses ^G We met at the Louisville union hal^Dl It was ^Glike I'd ^Cfound my long lost b^Grother ^G We drank like fish and worked like ^Ddogs Looking ^Gback I ^Cknew he'd get me in ^Gtrouble ^G But I didn't have too many frien^Dds Running ^Gup and ^Cdown that Dixie ^Ghighway ^G We thought the good times would never ^Dend

Down that ^Emlong ^C black ^Ghighway ^Em There's a ^Cdeep dark ^Dhole Down that ^Emlong ^C black ^Ghighway ^Am There's a lot of ^Dthings you'll never know^C

We chased ^Gwomen ^C and we chased ^Gwhiskey From the ^GGulf up to Ohi^Do Then one ^Gnight ^Cwe ran out of ^Gmoney And we ^Grobbed us an all night Texa^Dco Right in ^Gthere I ^Cguess the friendship ^Gended ^G That's where the good times fell a^Dpart I re^Gmember ^C screaming at ^GBilly You should've ^Glet that kid alone, you should've ^Ddrove off in the dark

Down that ^Emlong ^C black ^Ghighway ^Em There's a ^Cdeep dark ^Dhole Down that ^Emlong ^C black ^Ghighway ^Am There's a lot of ^Dthings you'll never know^C

Well ^Gwe ^Cpulled off on a ^Gback road I ^Gthought to think about what we'd ^Ddone I got ^Gout ^C took a leak and ^Glit a smoke ^G but now I'm wishing I had ^Drun 'Cause ^GBilly ^Calways was a ^Gmean one ^G And he was stoned out of his ^Dhead Well I ^Gguess ^C that he quit ^Gshooting ^G When he thought that I was ^Ddead

Going down that ^Emlong ^C black ^Ghighway ^Em There's a ^Cdeep dark ^Dhole Down that ^Emlong ^C black ^Ghighway ^Am There's a lot of ^Dthings you'll never know^C

I woke ^Gup ^C sometime around ^Gdaylight ^G But I didn't live long after ^Dthat I was t^Gaken ^C back up to the ^Ghighway By a ^Gghost, he was wearing a Texaco ^Dhat Now me and that ^Gkid we ^Chaunt that stretch of ^Ghighway ^G We go see Billy from time to ^Dtime You know ^GBilly always ^Cacted a little bit ^Gcrazy But now he's ^Gdone gone plumb out of his ^Dmind

Going down that ^Emlong ^C black ^Ghighway ^Em There's a ^Gdeep ^Cdark ^Dhole Down that ^Emlong ^C black ^Ghighway ^Am There's a lot of ^Dthings you'll never know^C
