G C D G

G
Sittin here wishin and thinkin and prayin
C
Wonderin what them folks are sayin
      G                    D  
‘Bout me and what I’m doin here
             G 
Yeah they’re lookin like I’m gonna steal their stuff
     C
Well Brother I tell you I got enough
       G               D                  G
Just a bag o’clothes a tent and a case of beer

G
Well this one ol' boy looks like a roadie from Skynrd
C
Suckin down his chickin dinner
           G                             D
He’s got a rebel flag right there on his grill
            G
And there’s another one I swear looks just like Hank
C
Stopped in here to gas his tank
      G                  D            G
Buy a pack of smokes and pop a couple pills

Chorus
          C                 G
Who needs TV when you got a truck stop
          D                          G
Who needs movies when you’ve got the road
          C                        G
Who needs MasterCard hell you got  visa
                 D                  G
And who needs to fix it if it ain’t broke

C D G

G
Yeah northbound cattle wagon with neon lights
C
Driven by a man you couldn’t pay me to fight
        G                             D 
I swear Ive never seen a zombie until now
        G
Lord he looks like he’s been up for days
C
Swervin through the asphalt haze
    G               D                  G
And right now id be nervous if I was a cow

G
And this one ol' woman with a wagon full o kids
C
She looked like she just hit the skids
    G                                     D
She left his ass this time she ain’t goin back
         G
Yeah she gonna drop the children off at mama’s
C
She already got ‘em in their pajamas
      G           D                G
And a sugar daddy waitin in a Cadillac

Chorus
          C                 G
Who needs TV when you got a truck stop
          D                          G
Who needs movies when you’ve got the road
          C                        G
Who needs MasterCard hell you got  visa
                 D                  G
And who needs to fix it if it ain’t broke

C D G

G
This one ol' boy stopped to use the phone
C
To tell his woman he’d soon be home
       G                                           D
If the highway patrol would let him put the hammer down
       G
And he asked if his huntin dogs were alright
C
And he just might make it home tonight
    G           D                   G
The CB says its clear for four more towns

G
Well I been sittin here four or five hours
C
I blew a rod doin sixty miles an hour
           G                                 D
Seems like Detroit ain’t makin ‘em like they did
    G
I’m glad there’s all this shit to see
C
Cuz if it weren’t for them it’d just be me
     G                D                   G
And I do believe I'da gone and flipped my lid

Chorus
          C                 G
Who needs TV when you got a truck stop
          D                          G
Who needs movies when you’ve got the road
          C                        G
Who needs MasterCard hell you got  visa
                 D                  G
And who needs to fix it if it ain’t broke
                 D                  G
And who needs to fix it if it ain’t broke
