Johnny Cash - Monteagle mountain

I just ^Crolled out of Nashville in my big rig headin' south My ^Feyes are on fire feels like ^Fcotton in my ^Cmouth ^CMy whole body's achin' but I got to make them big wheels roll I got to ^Fbe in Florida by tomorrow morning with a ^Ffull heavy ^Cload ^CI got to get passed Atlanta as soon as I can tonight I got to ^Ftry to dodge the scales and stay ^Fout of Smoky's ^Csight ^CBut there's one big thing standin' like a nightmare in my way I got to ^Ftop Monteagle Mountain a ^Flittle bit later to-^Cday

Goin' ^Fdown Monteagle Mountain on ^CI-24 It's ^Fhell for a trucker when the ^Fdecil's at your ^Cdoor He'll ^Ftempt you and tell you ^Ccome on let her roll Cause the ^Fmountain wants your rig and ^Ftrucker I want your ^Csoul

^CWhen I started down Monteagle the brakes just wouldn't hold I ^Fknew I was in trouble and a-^Fbout to lose ^Ccontrol ^CThe runaway ramp was waitin' I saw the warnin' sign I said ^FLord help me make it have ^Fmercy on this soul of ^Cmine ^CWell I ploughed into that runaway ramp and I could feel that big truck groan My ^Flife flashed right before my eyes and for a ^Fminute I thought I was ^Cgone ^CBut when the smoke cleared I thanked God that I was still alive Cause when there's a ^Frunaway on Monteagle some ^Ftruckers don't sur-^Cvive

Goin' ^Fdown Monteagle Mountain... ----------------------------------------------------
