    Chorus 1
    Truckin', 
    got 
    my 
    chips 
    cashed 
    in 

    Keep 
    truckin', 
    like 
    the 
    do-dah 
    man 

    To
    gether, 
    more 
    or 
    less 
    in 
    line 

    Just 
    keep 
    truckin' 
    on 

    Interlude 1

    Verse 1
    Arrows 
    of 
    neon 
    and 
    flashing 
    marquees 
    out 

    on 
    Main 
    Street 

    Chi
    cago, 
    New 
    York, 
    Detroit 

    and 
    it's 
    all 
    on 
    the 
    same 
    street 

    Your 
    typical 
    city 
    involved 

    in 
    typical 
    daydream 

    Chorus 2
    Hang 
    it 
    up 
    and 
    see 
    what 
    tomorrow 
    brings 

    Dallas, 
    machine 
    got 
    soft 
    machine 

    Houston, 
    too 
    close 
    to 
    New 
    Orleans 

    New 
    York 
    got 
    the 
    ways 
    and 
    means 

    But 
    just 
    won't 
    let 
    you 
    be 

    Interlude 2

    Verse 2
    Most 
    of 
    the 
    cats 
    that 
    you 
    meet 
    on 
    the 
    street 

    speak 
    of 
    true 
    love 

    Most 
    of 
    the 
    time, 

    they're 
    sittin' 
    and 
    cryin' 
    at 
    home 

    One 
    of 
    these 
    days 
    they 
    know 

    they 
    gotta 
    get 
    goin' 

    Out 
    of 
    the 
    door 

    Chorus 3
    and 
    down 
    to 
    the 
    street 
    all 
    alone 

    Truckin', 
    like 
    the 
    do-dah 
    man 

    Once 
    told 
    me, 
    "You've 
    got 
    to 
    play 
    your 
    hand" 

    Sometimes 
    the 
    cards 
    ain't 
    worth 
    dime 

    If 
    you 
    don't 
    lay 
    'em 
    down 

    Interlude 3

    Bridge 1
    Sometimes 
    the 
    light's 
    all 
    shinin' 
    on 
    me 


    Other 
    times, 
    can 
    barely 
    see 

    Lately, 
    it 
    oc
    curs 
    to 
    me 

    What 
    long, 
    strange 
    trip 
    it's 
    been 

    Interlude 4

    Verse 3
    What 
    in 
    the 
    world 
    ever 
    became 

    of 
    sweet 
    Jane? 

    She 
    lost 
    her 
    sparkle, 

    you 
    know 
    she 
    isn't 
    the 
    same 

    Livin' 
    on 
    reds, 
    vitamin 
    C, 
    and 
    cocaine 

    Chorus 4
    All 
    friend 
    can 
    say 
    is, 
    "Ain't 
    it 
    shame?" 

    Truckin', 
    up 
    to 
    Buffalo 

    Been 
    thinkin', 
    you 
    got 
    to 
    mellow 
    slow 

    It 
    takes 
    time, 
    you 
    pick 
    place 
    to 
    go 

    And 
    just 
    keep 
    truckin' 
    on 

    Interlude 5

    Verse 4
    Sittin' 
    and 
    starin' 
    out 
    of 
    the 
    hotel 
    window 

    Got 
    tip 
    they're 
    gonna 
    kick 
    the 
    door 
    in 
    again 

    I'd 
    like 
    to 
    get 
    some 
    sleep 
    before 
    travel 

    But 
    if 
    you 
    got 
    warrant, 

    Chorus 5
    guess 
    you're 
    gonna 
    come 
    in 

    Busted, 
    down 
    on 
    Bourbon 
    Street 

    Set 
    up, 
    like 
    bowlin' 
    pin 

    Knocked 
    down, 
    it 
    gets 
    to 
    wearin' 
    thin 

    They 
    just 
    won't 
    let 
    you 
    be 

    Interlude 6

    Verse 5
    You're 
    sick 
    of 
    hangin' 
    around 

    and 
    you'd 
    like 
    to 
    travel 

    Get 
    tired 
    of 
    travelin', 
    you 
    want 
    to 
    settle 
    down 

    guess 
    they 
    can't 
    revoke 
    your 
    soul 
    for 
    tryin' 

    Get 
    out 
    of 
    the 
    door 
    and 
    light 
    out 

    Bridge 2
    and 
    look 
    all 
    around 

    Sometimes 
    the 
    light's 
    all 
    shinin' 
    on 
    me 


    Other 
    times, 
    can 
    barely 
    see 

    Lately, 
    it 
    oc
    curs 
    to 
    me 

    What 
    long, 
    strange 
    trip 
    it's 
    been 

    Interlude 7

    Chorus 6
    Truckin', 
    I'm 
    goin' 
    home 

    Whoa, 
    whoa, 
    baby, 
    back 
    where 
    belong 

    Back 
    home, 
    sit 
    down 
    and 
    patch 
    my 
    bones 

    And 
    get 
    back 
    truckin' 
    on 

    Outro 1

      Best Tuning App Ever

      MaddProfessor

      "

      I’ve downloaded many tuning apps before and this one is by far the best. Easy to use, super user-friendly, and they have a bunch of fun different chords and songs to help you learn new music. I highly recommend.

      Well-Designed App

      Rose the Black Cat

      "

      I mostly use this for tuning my guitar, which this app makes ridiculously easy. It also has a large selection of songs to play along to and it helps show you which chords to play as well how to make the shapes with your fingers.

      Got me back into playing

      Tuliketsune

      "

      I got this app to tune an old guitar, and noticed it has a feature that autoscrolls as I play chords to famous songs. For some reason, this was a lot more motivating for me than any other way of practicing guitar. Now I'm actually practicing and remembering the names of chords 🙂

      Not only is it a tuner (best app tuner I've used personally) but it also has a metronome, games, chords, and a plethora of instruments to choose from and it's SUPER easy to navigate. I love it! Thanks for making an awesome app. From one musician to another, THANKS!!!

      This is a great app! Very easy to use and very reliable, if you are just starting out, you can take a big worry off your mind, by getting in tune quickly and easily with this app. Highly recommended!

      This is the best guitar tuner ever.

      It tunes your guitar accurately so you can get the best sound. I like all the other little games as well because they teach you how to play different chords and you can learn to identify the chords by listening to them and it is all offline.
