[Verse 1]
G             D          Em
  Speed limit sign says 65
              C
I’ve got this pedal to the floor
G             D         C
  Wonderin if I’m gonna turn around this time
G               D
900 dollars and my guitar
Em                C
  Is either gonna get me far
   G            D            C
Or nowhere, but I just gotta try


[Pre-Chorus]
Em                    D
  Man I hate I had to leave
             Em
But it’s the only way I know
           D
That I can silence this dream


[Chorus]
           G
And it’s a long long way
     D
From Interstate 10
       Em               C
To the bright lights of Nashville
G        D           C
  Oh and I’m missing you
G                    D
Just turned north on 55
      Em                          C
I can still see the tears rollin' down your eyes
G       D                   C
  And I know you’re missing me
           Em                  D
And it’s a long way from Louisiana
         G
To Tennessee

[Verse 2]
G                    D
Slept overnight at a buddy of mines
Em                    C
Keeps telling me that I’ll be fine
G        D                  C
  I wish I could convince myself
       G                        D
I just know so many friends who made this drive
Em                        C
Keep coming home play the same ole dives
G                    D                  C
  With nothing but a couple songs about how they failed


[Pre-Chorus]
Em                        D
  I ain’t looking for the fortune and fame
Em                        D
I just want somebody to remember my name


[Chorus]
           G
And it’s a long long way
     D
From Interstate 10
       Em               C
To the bright lights of Nashville
G        D           C
  Oh and I’m missing you
G                    D
Just turned north on 55
      Em                          C
I can still see the tears rollin' down your eyes
G       D                   C
  And I know you’re missing me
           Em                  D
And it’s a long way from Louisiana
         G
To Tennessee

[Pre-Chorus]
Em               D
  And I hope she knows
Em                   D
  How hard it was to let her go


[Chorus]
           G
And it’s a long long way
     D
From Interstate 10
       Em               C
To the bright lights of Nashville
G        D           C
  Oh and I’m missing you

Just turned north on 55
      Em                          C
I can still see the tears rollin' down your eyes
G       D                   C
  And I know you’re missing me


[Chorus]
           G
And it’s a long long way
     D
From Interstate 10
       Em               C
To the bright lights of Nashville
G        D           C
  Oh and I’m missing you
G                    D
Just turned north on 55
      Em                          C
I can still see the tears rollin' down your eyes
G       D                   C
  And I know you’re missing me
           Em                  D
And it’s a long way from Louisiana
         G
To Tennessee

Oh, Tennessee
