Capo 2
G Cadd9 G Cadd9 Am Em F C twice
G Cadd9
Three o'clock in the morning
G Cadd9
And I'm driving drunk through town
Am Em F C
Part of me really wants the law to bring me down
I got your picture on my rearview mirror
I ain't lookin' at the road
I got a half a tank of gasoline that's ready to explode
I saw blue lights flashin' behind me
So I pulled off to the side
The woman walked up to my door, she said, "Boy, you could of died."
I said, "Thank ya, sir. I mean ma'am. Whatever,
I was trying not to blink.
But why don't we go round the corner round the corner and have a drink?"
[Refrão] G D Em
Last week, workin' on my carburetor
C G Em C
You looked so good with oil smudged on your face
G D Em
You and me, sittin' there with our big bones achin'
C G Em C
We turned the key and we're riding through the marketplace
Owned a joint in Missoula, back in 1982
We had drinks on hand and Kamikaze Man
We could really move ?em through
We were havin' a good 'ol time
Sittin' back and livin' free
Then one night some jack put a gun in my back, I said, "Man, this ain't for me."
So I blew outta town that night
With eight dollars and some change
Hitch-hiked to Dallas in a pickup truck cause I couldn't pay my way
The nights were cold as summer breezes
And the days were hot as Hell
But I found some guys who would sit and listen to the bad stories I tell
Chorus
Harmonica
You see me
I'm just a name
Or a number that wants to be something that it ain't
I'm just a guy
That don't know where he belongs
Maybe I should do something besides writin' drinkin' songs
