Capo 5th fret
Standard (EADGBE)
Theres a coal minin town
Where the sun never sleeps
Its cold in Alaska
Her tears freeze to her cheeks
And theres an old man that loves her
Hes comin home, life or death.
Two months drug by
Since the day he first left
He can still hear goodbye
He can still see her breath
In that cracked sideview mirror
That he swore hed fix last time
Thirty miles from home
Dogs bark and red lights flash
I love Marie, still tattooed on the dash
Of that jackknifed freightliner,
Phone rings, 2 AM
Chorus
Hail to you, youre the king of the highway now x 2
That frozen hell it took him
And he aint coming back
But her memorys still thick
Like this ice that never cracks
Its damn cold in Alaska
And that sun never sleeps
Shes got his old CB box
She yells - breaker, breaker 10
Wont you honk if you see the ghost of that truck drivin man
And please tell him that I love him, and tell him this
