The song is in the same chord the whole song
But this riff is what gives it the sound:
E-----------------
B-----------------
G-----------------
D-----------------
A-0---0-3-00---0--
E---3--------3----
Theres a [A]truck turned over on the highway
[A]Flares burning out of the snow
[A]Freezing rain in the passing lane
[A]I got forty five miles to go
Forty five miles, forty five miles
Thats gonna take all night
Should have known right away that something was wrong
When I started thinking things were all right, things were not all right
My old mans sick, my sisters going broke
Theyre closing down my favorite bar
I got a smokers cough and now to top it all off
I think Im gonna wreck my car, Im gonna wreck my car
They say life goes in phases like seasons
I say something about all of them sucks
Its as hard to be hot as it is to be cold
Youre either out of control or youre stuck, youre either out of control or youre stuck
So take whatever road that you want to
Careful of the ice and the snow
I aint got time to change my mind
I got forty five miles to go
Forty five miles, forty five miles
Man thats gonna take all night
I should have known right away that something was wrong
When I started thinking things were all right, things are not all right
