Biography:
Richard Shindell (born 3 August 1960, Lakehurst, New Jersey) is an American folk singer. While dividing his time between Buenos Aires, Argentina, and New York's Hudson Valley, Shindell is a writer whose songs paint pictures, tell stories, and juxtapose ideas and images.
Shindell's songwriting often involves storytelling from a first-person point of view: for example, from an INS officer and illegal immigrant in "Fishing", to a World War II soldier in "Sparrows Point"

Richard Shindell - The Kenworth Of My Dreams
CAPO: 6th Fret
INTRO: C G F C G F (2x)
C G F
I sold my old Camaro
C G F
I sold my fishing boat
C G F
A friend said he would co-sign on
C G F
A small commercial loan
G
So I shopped around until I found
C F G
A rig within my means
C F
I put fifteen thousand dollars down
C G F
On the Kenworth of my dreams
C G F
My sister's husband helped me out
C G F
When we took the thing apart
C G F
And every bolt and piston
C G F
I knew them all by heart
G
We cleaned her out and painted her
C F G
And brought her up to speed
C F
And I proudly put my name upon
C G C
The Kenworth of my dreams
CHORUS:
Dm F G
Now sometimes late, out on some interstate
C F
I hear those sad country songs
Dm G
True love found, true love gone
Dm Em F G
Lately, I just turn the damn thing off
C G F
A lot of folks just shook their heads
C G F
Convinced that I'd lost mine
C G F
They said, living in a goddamned truck
C G F
Is just a waste of time
G
That to spend your life behind the wheel
C F G
Ain't as great as it might seem
C F
I just thanked them all and left one night
C G F
In the Kenworth of my dreams
INSTRUMENTAL: C G F C G F (2x)

CHORUS:
Dm F G
Now sometimes late, out on some interstate
C F
I hear those sad country songs
Dm G
True love found, true love gone
Dm Em F G
Lately, I just turn the damn thing off
C G F
Business, it's been pretty good
C G F
And I've no cause to complain
C G F
I haul bourbon up to Buffalo
C G F
And frozen food to Maine
G
Toxic waste or Quaker State
C F
It's all the same to me
C F
I'll go anywhere for anything
C G F
In the Kenworth of my dreams
C F
I'll go anywhere for anything
C G F
In the Kenworth of my dreams
C F
I'll go anywhere for anything
