Strum
D-DU-UDU
There’s  a coal minin’ town
 Where the sun never sleeps
It’s  cold in Alaska
 Her tears freeze to her cheeks
 And there’s an old man that  loves her
 He’s 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 he’d 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
Hail  to you, you’re  the king of the highway now x 2
That  frozen hell it took him
 And he ain’t coming back
But  her memory’s still thick
 Like this ice that never cracks
 It’s damn cold in  Alaska
 And that sun never sleeps
She’s  got his old CB box
 She yells - “breaker, breaker 10”
Won’t  you honk if you see the ghost of that truck drivin’ man
 And please tell him  that I love him, and tell him this
