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
