VERSE
E B7
Sweetly takin’ his time… drinkin’ on a straight rye
E A
Chasin’ it with red wine… heavy on his troubled mind
E A
Sweetly takin’ his time… tryin’ to make it all right
E A E B7 E
Thinkin’ on a woman… thinkin’ on a woman
E B7
He's tunin' up the CB... "Can anybody hear me?"
E A
"'Cause I'm headin' down the Number 3... I got deadlines to meet"
E B7
Tunin' up his CB... Hopin' it will free me
E A E B7 E
Thinkin' on a woman... thinkin' on that woman
BRIDGE
E / B7 / E A E B7 E /
E B7
He's been singin' sad songs... thinkin' how she's long gone
E A
He's treatin' those that love him wrong... he's ornery as the night is long
E B7
He's been singin' sad songs... thinkin' how she's long gone
E A E B7 E
Thinkin' on that woman... thinkin' on that woman
E B7
Burnin' up the midnight oil... special brand of big-rig toil
E A
It's enough to make your blood boil... these mountain roads'll prove my foil
E B7
Burnin' up the midnight oil... gonna shuffle off this mortal coil
E A E B7 E
Thinkin' on a woman... thinkin' on a woman
