This is basically the gist of the Chorus parts. Apply the same picking patterns 
from here to the chord progression I will provide below. 

I differentiate C/G as opposed to just C and then G, this is a "bouncing" bass line 
with the C/G chord, but he is just moving his ring finger back and forth. Important 
to distinct from the C and then G later beacuse the G uses the entire shape and not 
just the low E bass note.

C/G 
I’ve seen truckstops and pitstops 
F                       C 
Rest stops, dives, and gift shops 
G                    F         C/G 
Took heavy jobs for pay that wasn’t big 

Make my living hauling cargo 
       F        C/G 
All around the whole damn country 
                         F                C 
I’ve been everywhere and barely left this rig boys 
          G              F                C/G 
I’ve been everywhere and barely left this rig 


C/G 
Watch the white lines on the highway 
F                    C/G 
Try and slide right out of my way 
                   F                 C/G 
I chased the road beyond the setting sun 

When it rises like a flower 
F                       C 
I’m still just clocking hours 
         G        F                    C/G 
And I’ll see it rise again before I’m done boys 
     G             F                C/G 
I’ll see it rise again before I’m done 

 
 F                      C/G 
Albany to Omaha, it’s Adderall and alcohol 
    G              F       C/G 
To pick me up and set me down again 

Well, my tired eyes are bloodshot 
         F                C/G 
Like my guts been full of Buckshot 
       G           F           C/G 
And I feel 10,000 miles from a friend

C/G 
Late at night, I miss my family 
       F               C/G 
And I wrestle with my sanity 
        G                 F               C/G 
On the moonless nights, I swear I see the dog 

There’s no resting for the innocent 
   F                   C/G 
To hang on through the end of it 
 G              F                    C/G 
Just around the bend and through the fog 


 F                      C/G 
Albany to Omaha, it’s Adderall and alcohol 
    G              F       C/G 
To pick me up and set me down again 

Well, my tired eyes are bloodshot 
         F                C/G 
Like my guts been full of Buckshot 
       G           F           C/G 
And I feel 10,000 miles from a friend 
  G           F             C/G 
I feel 10,000 miles from a friend
