In this video, Shane Thomas shows you how to play the Eddie Rabbitt hit Drivin My Life. This acoustic guitar tutorial and guitar lesson show you the 4 chords to learn in this 1980 classic country song. Eddie Rabbitt wrote and performed many hits throughout the 1970s and 1980s and this was one of his biggest. Drivin My Life not only reached the top of the country charts but it crossed over to the Billboard charts and almost become a #1 pop hit also.
If you are looking for an uptempo song to play along to and get you in a terrific mood, then look no further than this gem. So grab your acoustic guitar and put on your trucker hat, turn up the CB and the music and prepare to learn this classic country guitar classic!
Here is the live version of Drivin My Life Away that I mentioned in the video but it sounds like he played this version in the Key of D which is a whole step down from the original key of E

@@countrymusicguitarclassics I'm not a guitar player, but I've always liked "I Love a Rainy Night." I just recently started exploring the complete Eddie Rabbit catalog, and the algorithm caused your video to pop up. "Driving My Life Away" hit home with me because my brother is an over-the-road truck driver. What an infectious song… As another commenter said, you don't need to be a truck driver to relate to the song. The lyrics apply to life in general. I wish I had been able to catch Eddie live in concert, but KZread is almost as good! Keep up the good work!
awesome thanks

Can you teach us how to play ..You can't run from love...or Step by Step...by Eddie Rabbitt....I cant find cords or strum pattern for those 2 songs anywhere. And they are my favorite Eddie Rabbitt songs. Thank You.

Sure I can show you those. I have been meaning to do Step by Step and Every Which Way But Loose for a good while now. So I can add You Can't Run from Love to the list too. All the best and thanks for the request.
If I walked around the house doing that on my guitar, my wife probably wouldn’t be as supportive as one might think

Shane, thank you, sir, for getting back...I imagine you are a super busy, guy. Well, sir....George Ducas has one called lipstick promises, two other that I really like (and he has several....) is " I'd be lying, and one of his latest hits, you're only my everything. Any one of those three would be awesome. Hopefully you'll like them, too. Thanks, Shane!
