Biography:
Turnpike Troubadours is an American country music group from Oklahoma founded in 2005.
The band, whose name is derived from the bumpy Oklahoma toll-roads and their hard lived folk singing heroes, are proof that isolation can be the mother of originality. Cutting their teeth in roadside dance halls and honky-tonks has made a serious impact on the band’s musical style, which walks the line between Woody Guthrie and Waylon Jennings. “Bossier City,” the band’s debut album, is testament to the small towns in which they were raised.

[Verse 1]
Em
Well I turned and shut my eyes
As you let the gravel fly
Em D Em
When I looked up you had cleared the driveway
Em
You and your big cloud of dust
All your chrome and all your rust
G D Em
Beggin' to lay scattered on the highway
[Verse 2]
Em
Well I have not forgotten when we may as well be kin
Em D Em
Raising hell from here to Bryan County
Em
Wishing I could let you in
Give you shelter from the wind
G D Em
But that hurricane ain't coming down around me
[Chorus]
G D Am Em
Oh well you can curse your fiddle till it breaks down at the binding
G D Em
Curse your locomotive off the rail
G D Am Em
And all that trouble you've been looking for is easy in the finding
Em D Em
Well the devil's into fine detail
[Verse 3]
Em
Well I nearly took your lead
With your pistol and your speed
Em D Em
Shoot to kill and plan to be forgiven
Em
But in between the mill
And whatever deer I kill
G D Em
Truth be told I barely make a living
[Chorus]
G D Am Em
Oh well you can curse your fiddle till it breaks down at the binding
G D Em
Curse your locomotive off the rail
G D Am Em
And all that trouble you've been looking for is easy in the finding
Em D Em
Well the devil's into fine detail
[Bridge]
G E Am G
And you're somewhere in the Winding Stair
G Em
Thinking you still got a trick or two
Am G D Em
And you're planning out your fight in the lantern light
Am Em
But I don't see this going well for you
Am Em
No I don't see this going well for you
[Instrumental]
[Verse 4]
Em
Well the sheriff came last night
Is everything alright?
Em D Em
Ask for any help that I can give
Em
No we had a falling out
Well then what's this all about
G D Em
They said the man who's shot is gonna live
[Chorus]
G D Am Em
Oh well you can curse your fiddle till it breaks down at the binding
G D Em
Curse your locomotive off the rail
G D Am Em
And all that trouble you've been looking for is easy in the finding
Em D Em
Well the devil's into fine detail
Em D Em
Well the devil's into fine detail
Em
Well I turned and shut my eyes
As you let the gravel fly
Em D Em
