[Intro]
Am
 
 
[Verse 1]
Am                                    G                         Am
I can see what's comin' for me by the way that it's bendin' the pines
                                          G                  Am
Brother, me and these 18-wheels are gonna hammer on down the line
                                       G                  Am
Flyin' like a bat out of hell, tearin' out of North Alabama
                                       G                  Am
Signs are sayin' "Jesus Saves" but the devil don't give a damn
 
 
[Chorus]
G                      D           Am
Tryin' to keep all the rubber on '65
G         D            Am G
Might not make it out alive
                    D                Am
White knucklin' the wheel just to survive
              C
Caught in the crosswind
D             Am
Caught in the crosswind
              C
Caught in the crosswind
D             Am
Caught in the crosswind
 
 
[Verse 2]
Am                                 G                       Am
Sometimes, what drives a man ain't nothin' but a matter of will
                                       G                          Am
When a man's got a heavy load, he just tryin' to make it over thе hill
                                                G                       Am
Burnin' the hours taking truck-stop showers and sleepin' in the chеap motels
                                           G             Am
Pickin' up speed on a mission to feed five kids with a CDL
 
 
[Chorus]
G                      D           Am
Tryin' to keep all the rubber on '65
G         D            Am G
Might not make it out alive
                    D                Am
White knucklin' the wheel just to survive
              C
Caught in the crosswind
D             Am
Caught in the crosswind
              C
Caught in the crosswind
D             Am
Caught in the crosswind

[Verse 3]
Am                                      G                       Am
It's a fight in the dark of night with another hundred miles to run
                                             G                          Am
When your mind starts tryin' to find ways to get you out from under the gun
                                              G                          Am
This livin' ain't much of a life but it's the only thing I know how to do
Am
I miss you, honey, but I gotta make some money
        G                    Am
So, I'm hopin' I can make it through
 
 
[Chorus]
G                      D           Am
Tryin' to keep all the rubber on '65
G         D            Am G
Might not make it out alive
                    D                Am
White knucklin' the wheel just to survive
              C
Caught in the crosswind
D             Am
Caught in the crosswind
              C
Caught in the crosswind
D             Am
Caught in the crosswind
 
 
[Outro]
              C
Caught in the crosswind
D             Am
Caught in the crosswind
