[Intro]
 
C  C  G C
 
 
[Verse 1]
 
       C                        
I ride east every other Friday, 
               C
and if I had it my way
   C                G              C
My day would not be wasted on this ride
  C                        
I want so bad to hold you, 
                                C
but son there's things I haven't told you
     C                                G
Your mom and me just couldn't get along
 
 
[Chorus]
 
     C                          G      
So I drive, and I think about my life, 
          C                     G
and wonder why, then I slowly die inside
Am                     C             
Every time I turn this truck around, 
                    G
right at the Georgia line
            C             Am                      
I count the days, and the miles back home to you, 
       G          C
on that Highway 20 ride.
 
 
[Verse 2]
 
   C                             
A day might come you'll realize, 
                      C
and if you see through my eyes
C                  G              C
There was no other way to work it out
C                          
Part of you might hate me, 
                    C
but son please don't mistake me
      C                        G
For a man that doesn't care at all.
 
 
[Chorus]
 
     C                          G      
So I drive, and I think about my life, 
          C                     G
and wonder why, then I slowly die inside
Am                     C             
Every time I turn this truck around, 
                    G
right at the Georgia line
            C             Am                      
I count the days, and the miles back home to you, 
       G          C
on that Highway 20 ride.
 
 
[Verse 3]
 
            C                             G
So when you drive, and the years go flyin' 
                C                          G
by I hope you'll smile, if I ever cross your mind
                        G                          G
It was the pleasure of my life, and I cherished every time
             C
And my whole world, it begins and ends with you
        G          C
On that Highway 20 Ride
