1st traste
[Intro]
G
Well it’s a long drive from Cleveland
G
And I spent most my time thinkin’
G C
About where I can find a place to settle in
D
I don’t know where I’ll be tomorrow
D
I got a pack of cigarettes and I’m on the throttle
D G
Of my old ‘82 Econoline
[Verse]
G
Spent the last few years just a waistin’ away
G
On an assembly line barely gettin’ paid
G C
Enough to pay the rent and utilities
D
Found my dream in some old tune
D
Some western song about ramblin’ blues
D G
So I sold it all and bought my own six string
[Chorus]
G
Now I’m singing these old country tunes
G
And every now and then a little rock-n-roll and blues
G C
Livin’ out the back seat of this Ford Econoline
D
Some think it’s a delusion
D
That I won’t get very far with this life I’m choosin’
D G
But as long as I’m livin’ free, I’ll be just fine
[Verse]
G
Well some folks they are content
G
About workin’ their lives savin’ up their cents
G C
But I ain’t ever had enough sense to do the same
D
I commend them for the grind
D
But I’m done slavin’ away my precious time
D G
I don’t wanna be no pawn in some rich man’s game
G
I’d rather die out on the road
G
Be buried beneath an old ancient oak
G C
With a six string nestled away down by my feet
D
Don’t take me as a fool
D
Just mainly didn’t even wanna follow the rules
D G
I’d rather march to the feel of my own half-time beat
[Chorus]
G
Now I’m singing these old country tunes
G
And every now and then a little rock-n-roll and blues
G C
Livin’ out the back seat of this Ford Econoline
D
Some think it’s a delusion
D
That I won’t get very far with this life I’m choosin’
D G
But as long as I’m livin’ free, I’ll be just fine
G
Now I’m singing these old country tunes
G
And every now and then a little rock-n-roll and blues
G C
Livin’ out the back seat of this damn Econoline
D
Well it ain’t no damn delusion
D
Pretty happy with this old life I’m choosin’
D G
And as long as I’m livin’ free, I’ll be just fine
[Outro]
D G
As long as I’m livin’ free, I’ll be just fine
