Prisoner of the Highway - Ronnie Milsap

Em             G
Diesel powers 18 wheels to rollin'
     A                         Em
as I    pull it on to the Interstate
         Em           G
I've got  13 hours to make my destination
      A                                B
And I   don't want to stop to check my weight
C                  D               Em     D
There won't be no sleep for me tonight No
     C                          B7
I've got to be hittin' Tulsa by first morning light

Chorus:
       Em              D
I'm a  prisoner of the highway
A                        Em
Driven on by my restless soul
                          D
Call me a prisoner of the highway
A                            Em
Prison by the freedom of the road

Em                      G
I've run freight out of (Preeling)? West Virgina
A                       Em
And US Steel from Memphis
                  G
I've rode tobacco out of the Carolina's
A                             B7
California wines into Burmingham
C                      D     Em       D
Some people work just to survive Yeah
C                               B7
But up here in this cab that's when I'm most alive
       Em              D
I'm a  prisoner of the highway
A                        Em
Driven on by my restless soul
                          D
Call me a prisoner of the highway
A                            Em     D     A    Em
Prison by the freedom of the road

Break:
A
  Got a wife living back in Tennessee
                                        Em  G
And she tries to understand the way I feel
A
I could give my hands to another line of work
   /B  C                                B7
But my heart would always be behind the wheel
          Em              D
Call me a prisoner of the highway
A                        Em
Driven on by my restless soul
                      D
I'm a prisoner of the highway
A                            Em
Prison by the freedom of the road
                                      D
Don't you know I'm a  prisoner of the highway
A                        Em
Driven on by my restless soul
                          D
Call me a prisoner of the highway
A                            Em . . .
Prison by the freedom of the road
