Goin’ Places
Written By: Jack Nelson
[Intro]
E C#m A E x2
[Verse 1]
E
After years of aspiration
C#m
All these dreams that i’ve been chasin’
A
Ain’t been much for
E
Instant gratification
E
There’s shows that’ll suck the soul
C#m
From a crowd that never showed
A E
And nights I feel i might as well be a radio
C#m
Yet it’s beyond my station
A
As to why they're not tuned in
C#m A E
My patience, pride, and self-esteem are wearin’ thin
[Chorus]
A
Then I’ll turn the key and tune it up
E
Cranked up loud kickin’ up dust
C#m
Either in my mind
A E
Or somewhere down that white line
A
I close my eyes and all I see
E
Are the pictures the songs paint for me
C#m A E
Stuck in a space, without time
C#m
Yet I’m seein’ faces
A E
‘Cause with music I’m goin’ places
[Verse 2]
E
There goes one more
C#m
Another handshake out the door
A E
Sayin’ “thanks again, until next time’
E
You see they always have me back
C#m
They say “everybody loves ya ‘Jack’”
A E
But they know what they ain’t payin’ ought to be a crime
C#m A E
I’m prayin’ Lord give me a sign
[Chorus]
A
As I turn the key and tune it up
E
Cranked up loud kickin’ up dust
C#m
Either in my mind
A E
Or somewhere down that white line
A
I close my eyes and all I see
E
Are the pictures the songs paint for me
C#m A E
Stuck in a space, without time
C#m
Yet I’m seein’ faces
A E
‘Cause with music I’m goin’ places
[Bridge]
B7
To another town, another show
A
Under big city lights or a mountain road
C#m A E
Another field through my windshield
B7
Up on a stage or in the sage
C#m A
Brushin’ off this lonely haze
C#m A E
I wouldn’t take back all the time I’ve killed
C#m
I ain’t winnin’ races
A E
But with music I’m goin places
[Instrumental]
E C#m A E x2
[Chorus]
A
As I turn the key and tune it up
E
Cranked up loud kickin’ up dust
C#m
Either in my mind
A E
Or somewhere down that white line...
