  G 
A man rolled up, 
   G 
18 wheels of truck, 
     G            Bb          G 
Suzy stood by the side of the road, 
G 
Twenty years old, 
G 
Wet and cold, 
  G                  G 
A little down on her luck, 
                C 
Can I drive you home?, 
C                      Bb        G 
He said darling can I drive you home?, 
 

 
         G 
Well she climbed right in, 
           G 
And with a sideways grin, 
               G         Bb         G 
He touched her leg as he locked her door, 
  G 
I drive these roads, 
       G 
Been a thousand loads, 
        G                G 
I aint never seen you before. 
            C 
Whats your name?, hmm, 
C                   Bb          G 
He said: sweetheart whats your name?

No matter good intentions, 
   C      Bb       G     G 
It always ends the same. 
 

 
           G 
She looked straight ahead, 
       G 
As she quietly said: 
   G       Bb      G 
My friends call me Sue, 
    G 
But truth be told, 
         G 
If I can be so bold, 
        G                 Bb         G 
Theres something I dont like about you, 
                 C 
Dont think Ill stay, 
C                  Bb    G    G 
Think Ill just be on my way, 
 

 
        G 
He said dont be shy, 
      G

       G     Bb          G 
Youll see I mean you no harm, 
         G 
But its been a while, 
       G 
And he lost that smile, 
G       Bb          G 
Then he stroked her arm, 
                C 
Youre a pretty thing, 
C                   Bb            G    G

It always ends the same, 
   D                      D 
No matter good intentions,

It always ends the same.

        G 
When he grabbed her wrist, 
       G 
And he started to twist, 
             G            Bb            G 
She pulled a gun from the waist of her jeans, 
           G 
He put his hands in the air, 
          G 
He said, hold it there, 
    G       Bb         G 
And then he started to plead, 
         Bb     C 
Cant we make a deal, 
         C              Bb     G   G G 
Oh sweet girl, cant we make a deal. 
 

 
             G 
He said what can I do, 
           G 
To make it right with you? 
G        Bb          G 
Fix this terrible mistake, 
G 
Take my keys, 
       G 
And my money please, 
     G            Bb      G 
Just tell me its not too late, 
      Bb      C 
Dont take my life,

Have mercy dont take my life.

         G 
The last thing she said, 
           G 
Before she shot him dead, 
                         G 
And slipped back into the rain, 
        G 
Was the time had passed, 
         G 
He would be the last, 
G                G 
Man to cause her pain, 
Bb          C     C 
Straight to hell,

Then she sent him straight to hell.
