[Verso 1]Riff 1
Get your sweets from the candy man
Get your truth from the shelf
Don't buy into the fairy tale
Just be good to yourself
'Cause you know that I love you, girl
You're my way out of hell
But I've just one more song to sing
One more story to tell
Riff 1
[Verso 2]Riff 1
When I'm tired of the bright lights
When I'm tired of the wine
I'll go down to New Mexico
To the depths of the mind
When I'm forty years older
When I'm wrinkled and wise
I will trade all my liberty
For that look in your eyes
F C
Reason gonna blind you
F C
Cripple and confine you
F C Em
Listen as you pull hard breaks
F C
Take a trip to America
F C
Let the wind blow right through your hair
F C
We'll buy beer and some hope to share
Em F
Every day
Refrão
