 Verse 1

   D                       G       D 
 I work at the Big Star on North 405,
        G                     A           D      
 I make 6 bucks an hour and I work steady nights.
         D                          G          D    
 Well it might not be much, but its all that I need,
         G                           A          D      G D 
 In that little glass booth, in that highway to dreams.
 
 Verse 2

 --------
 

   D                      G          D      
 I was not that good of a student in school,
           G                          A          D    
 But this life taught me lessons that made me no fool.
       D                        G           D    
 Oh my mum and dad raised me by that golden rule,
      G                           A               D     
 In a world that gets ruthless, a world that gets cruel.

 CHORUS -----------------------------------------
 

          D/F#                  G       
 Fill her up, let me check your oil sir.
           D/F#                     G      
 Cash your card and let me get your change.
           D/F#                        G               
 Just turn right and when you see that big church sign,
         G            A                 D   G 
 Just go straight and you'll be on your way.

 Verse 3

   D                      G           D    
 I had me a girl once and my ring she wore,
         G                         A         D    
 But her father said she could not see me no more.
      D                         G            D    
 Oh I know it'd be different if I weren't so poor,
        G                             A         D     
 So I'm writing these songs trying to open some doors.

 Well that's enough crying over used to be's,
        G                           A            D  
 Got to write these songs, get that girl back to me.
       D                         G             D  
 I'm a man with conviction, I've got things to do.
           G               D/F#            G                Asus 
 When that sun starts risin', oh when that sun starts risin',

 My night shifts are through.
