Tim McGraw adds this to the end of "Real Good Man' sometimes. Let chords ring with repeated lines in chorus. I like to carry the last 'ride' in final chorus through the chord progression D C G D

^DI was thumbing my way back from Montgomery with my ^Fguitar on my back when a ^Gman pulled up beside me in an ^Dantique Cadillac

^DHe was dressed like 1950 half ^Fdrunk and hollowed eyed said its a ^Glong walk back to Nashville would you ^Dlike a ride son

^DSo I jumped into the front seat and he ^Fturned on the radio and the ^Gsad songs coming out those speakers was a ^Dsolid country gold

^DWell I noticed the stranger was a ghost white pale when he ^Fasked me for a light then I ^Gknew there was something strange a^Dbout this ride

chorus:

He said ^Cmister can you make folks ^Gcry when you play and ^Dsing

^Dhave you paid your dues can you moan the blues

can you ^Abend those guitar strings And ^Cson can you make folks

^Gfeel what you feel in^Dside....

cuz if your ^Cbig star bound let me ^Gwarn you its a

^Dlong hard ride C (one stroke) if your big star bound

G (one stroke) let me warn you its a

long hard ^Dride D C G D

verse 2

^DWell he cried just south of Nashville and he ^Fturned that car around

said ^Gthis is where you get out boy cuz i'm ^Dheading on back to alabam

^DSo I jumped outa that ole Cadillac and said ^Fmister many thanks

he said you ^Gdon't have to call mister, mister ^Dthe whole world calls me HANK

Chorus repeat last line of chorus a third time (first tab posted...feel free to embellish or criticize)
