about

It's not only my truck that's in the ditch...

lyrics

I'm [C]driving my [F]truck home after midnight[C] [F][C]
and gazing [F]up into the hazy starlight[C]
[C]maybe because I was drinking [F]some potion[C]
*[G]My truck's a weavin', swervin' and in [C]motion

[D#][Gm/D][C]

*Like a shadow, misfortune, stays with me
Like that deer that came out from the trees
*The voodoo doesn't quit, so I'll have another drink
#My troubles just won't quit, so I'll have another drink
Hardship can last longer than you think.

#cause sadness, lasts longer than you think.
[C][Dm][Em][F]

Pre-Chorus
[F]Well, my truck is in the [G]ditch and it's not [C]runnin [Am]
[F]There's no one in the [Em][Dm]seat beside of [C]me
[F]I'm hurtin and there's [G]no one else to [C]help me[Am]

Chorus
[F]My truck is in the [G]ditch
[C]Well, isn't that a [Am/C]bitch
[F]My truck is in the [G]friggin ditch a[C]gain

Bridge instrumental 16 bar
[D#][Gm/D][C] x 2
[Am][G][F][G]
[Am][G][C]

Verses 3-4

I feel like I'm broken inside
Maybe it's all in my mind
#*It seems like all I have is pain
#*...and tomorrow is more of the same.
#I'm tired of drinking and I wanna go home
#It sucks to get old, and live alone
I dream of better days, and in so many ways
#tomorrow... is more of the same.
*...and tomorrow is not another holiday.

Mostly a solo artist, Gene Maarkr prefers not to play live; writing, recording and producing songs in his studio instead, exploring synthetic sounds with rock, jazz and euro themes. My worship album is shown here and will soon be released when the last few songs are finished. ... more
