Capo 2
Verse 1
A C
I’ve got more miles here beneath these two wheels
D A
The worldly ways have lost appeal
AM7 D A
I
never did hold still for all to long
A
C
Don’t give me some life in a born again box,
D A
Wanna walk that walk and talk that talk
AM7 D A
I’d rather go too far than never go at all
E
Just don’t find me tucked in safe;
D A
Oh, Life in Christ would be such a waste
E G A
Sticking all that treasure in the ground
E
So God, put your hands here on my wheel,
D A
Cover me in diamond plated steel
E G
A
The road is rough and tough up where we’re bound
Chorus
D A
Oh, knock me down and kick me up
D A
I
want to look like a well worn pickup truck
D
A E
I
ain’t real pretty but that’s just the way it should be
D A
Tumble right through heaven’s own front gate
D A
Gonna’ slide face first into that home plate
D A
E
Got bugs in my teeth from a ride that’s never called safe
G
D A
But I refuse the right to stay silent that is my plea
G D A
Oh, Life’s a journey and Jesus is riding with me
Verse 2
A C
So, Here I am Lord I’m all yours,
D A
I’m running right straight through those open doors
AM7
D A
And I don’t care if this world thinks I’m your fool
A C
It’s a choice we make how much we exert
D A
Do we finish the game all covered in dirt?
AM7
D A
Or do we never ever leave ourselves at all
E
It’s a pretty short time for us to stay;
D A
Maybe eighty good years give or take a day
E G A
Worry won’t add one more minute here
E
Kick the engine, load the load,
D A
And let’s get driving down the dusty road
E G D
Cowboy up and ride the wild frontier
Chorus
C G
Oh, knock me down and kick me up
D A
I
want to look like a well worn pickup truck
D
A E
I
ain’t real pretty but that’s just the way it should be
D A
Tumble right through heaven’s own front gate
D A
Gonna’ slide face first into that home plate
D
A E
Got bugs in my teeth from a ride that’s never called safe
G
D A
But I refuse the right to stay silent that is my plea
G D A
Oh, Life’s a journey and Jesus is riding with me
G D
A
It’s a pretty long highway but Jesus is riding with me
G D A
Oh, Life’s a journey and Jesus is riding with me
