------------------------------------------------ Verse 1: D I just rolled out of Nashville in my big rig headin' south A G D My eyes are on fire feels like cotton in my mouth D My whole body's achin' but I got to make them big wheels roll A G D I got to be in Florida by tomorrow morning with a full heavy load D I got to get passed Atlanta as soon as I can tonight A G D I got to try to dodge the scales and stay out of Smoky's sight D But there's one big thing standin' like a nightmare in my way A G D I got to top Monteagle Mountain a little bit later to-day Chorus: G D Goin' down Monteagle Mountain on I-24 A G D It's hell for a trucker when the decil's at your door G D He'll tempt you and tell you come on let her roll A G D Cause the mountain wants your rig and trucker I want your soul Verse 2: D When I started down Monteagle the brakes just wouldn't hold A G D I knew I was in trouble and a-bout to lose control D The runaway ramp was waitin' I saw the warnin' sign A G D I said Lord help me make it have mercy on this soul of mine D Well I ploughed into that runaway ramp and I could feel that big truck groan A G D My life flashed right before my eyes and for a minute I thought I was gone D But when the smoke cleared I thanked God that I was still alive A G D Cause when there's a runaway on Monteagle some truckers don't sur-vive Chorus: G Goin' down Monteagle Mountain... ---------------------------------------------------- Have fun...
