Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[G]I got a cracked windshield
and Mardi Gras beads
Some trucker hats and old hotel keys
We got a [D]dash,
full of trash and [G]other [C]bands CD's
Got a [G]cracked windshield and
[D]Mardi [G]Gras beads

[Verse 2]
[G]Breaking points and broken
guitar strings
We bet big and we lost everything
Damn near [D]wasted all our twenties
[G]chasing down [C]a dream
Now we're all [G]breaking points and
[D]broken gui[G]tar strings
We ain't [C]ever gonna make

[Verse 3]
it,
[G]like I thought we would
So [C]why can't we just pack it up
And say we [G]did the best we [D]could?
I [G]used to be a decent man,
then life just [D]took its [C]toll
Now I'm just a casualty of rock
[G]and roll

[Interlude 1]
[C][G][C][G][C][G][C]

[Verse 4]
[G]Closing time and opening [C]bands
A [G]different town,
same old one night [C]stands
Another [D]midnight muse in cowboy
boots with [G]X's on [C]her hands
[G]Closing time and [D]opening [G]bands

[Verse 5]
It's like playing a game you [G]know
you'll never [C]win
You're [G]down to your last hand
and you're all [C]in
Then a [D]turn of luck and you double up,
just to [G]bet it all [C]again
You see we're [G]playing a game we
[D]know we'll never [G]win

[Verse 6]
We ain't [C]ever gonna make it,
[G]like I thought we would
So [C]why can't we just pack it up
And say we [D]did the best we could?
I shoulda been a [G]doctor or a lawyer,
or a policeman [D]on [C]patrol
Instead I'm a casualty of rock
and [G]roll
[C][G][C][G][C][G]

[Verse 7]
[C]
Tell my [G]mama and my daddy that I [C]tried
Tell [G]all my friends and family
[C]goodbye
'Cause if the [D]road is where you live boy
The [G]road is where [C]you'll die
Tell my [G]mama and my [D]daddy that I [G]tried

[Verse 8]
We [C]ain't ever gonna make it,
[G]like I thought we would
So [C]why can't we just pack it up
And say we [D]did the best we could?
I gave my [G]heart to the highway,
she returned it [D]full [C]of holes
We're just casualties of rock
and roll
[G][C][G][C][G][C]

[Verse 9]
[G][C]
Rock [G]and roll [C](rock and roll)
Rock [G]and roll (rock and [C]roll)
Rock [G]and roll (rock and [C]roll)
Rock [G]and roll [C](rock and roll)
Rock [G]and roll[C]
Rock [G]and roll[C]

[Outro 1]
Rock and roll
[G][G]
