Nothing But A Good Ride - Lyle Lovett
CAPO 1
Hes pulling ou[C]t for Reno
He hopes a tire [G]dont blow
Up near [D]Albuquerque
Hell fuel and get some [G]coffee
Clines Corners [C]truck stop
A waitress with a [G]wet mop
Telling him to [D]dont walk
He tips his hat and [G]dont talk
CHORUS
He knows its nothing but a [C]good ride[D][C]
No theres nothing there he [G]cant slide[C][G]
No theres nothing that he [D]wont spin[C][D]
No theres nothing to it [G]do it again[C][G]
No its nothing but the [C]big show[D][C]
No theres nowhere that he [G]wont go[C][G]
No he never has to [D]ask why[C][D]
He knows its nothing but a [G]good[C] r[G]ide[G][C][G]
He says theres something about a [C]sunrise
Waking up [G]sleepy eyes
He says theres something about a [D]highway
Telling him he [G]cant stay
He says theres something about a [C]long drive
That gives him some [G]peace of mind
And theres something that he [D]cant take
When hes coming in [G]second place
CHORUS
He knows its nothing but a [C]good ride[D][C]
No theres nothing there he [G]cant slide[C][G]
No theres nothing that he [D]wont spin[C][D]
No theres nothing to it [G]do it again[C][G]
No its nothing but the [C]big show[D][C]
No theres nowhere that he [G]wont go[C][G]
No he never has to [D]ask why[C][D]
He knows its nothing but a [G]good ride[C][G]
And when its all [C]over
Hell move a little [G]slower
Hell back up to the [D]trailer
And look toward [G]Oklahoma
Hell pull out right through the [C]middle of town
And watch the sun start [G]sinking down
Still just lighting up the [D]road signs
Getting ready for the next [G]time.
CHORUS
He knows its nothing but a [C]good ride[D][C]
No theres nothing there he [G]cant slide[C][G]
No theres nothing that he [D]wont spin[C][D]
No theres nothing to it [G]do it again[C][G]
No its nothing but the [C]big show[D][C]
No theres nowhere that he [G]wont go[C][G]
No he never has to [D]ask why[C][D]
He knows its nothing but a good ride
