Capo on 4th fret
                
 
Intro  G Em G Em  
  
G  
The sun has opened up my eyes  
                             D  
And I don't wanna leave your side  
                  C  
For that lonesome road  
           G  
But here I go climbing back behind the wheel  
  
Of fifty feet of chrome and steel  
      D                 C  
And a load they need in Chicago  
Em D C  
     Through the middle of the night unknown  
Em D C                        D  
     I'm on a ride that won't let me go  
 
 G              D  
I'm an asphalt cowboy  
Em  
Born to run underneath the stars  
C  
Pay no mind to my lonely heart  
G          D  
Just ride, ride  
Em                          C  
'Till I'm back in your arms again  
Em                      C  
I'll be out here on the wind  
  
G  
Sometimes late at night  
                                    D  
I see your picture by the dashboard light  
             C                    G  
And it takes me where I'd like to be  
G  
Wrapped up in a blanket there  
G  
Pullin' ribbons from your hair  
         D                 C  
And your kiss, girl that's what I miss  
Em D C   
     Still I drive these horses through the rain and snow  
Em D C                        D  
     This high speed rodeo is all I know  
  
(Chorus)  
  
G            D  
And I'll ride  
Em                           C  
Untill I'm back in your arms again  
Em                       C  
I'll be out there on the wind  
G            D  
And I'll ride  
Em  
Through the middle of the night unknown  
C  
On a ride that won't let me go  
G       Em      
Asphalt cowboy  
  
fade out
