High Steppin' Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[G]I'm a high steppin', high bettin'
Love givin', I'm a love gettin'
I'm a stranger,
I love stretchin' out my [C]wheels[D]
Overnightin' on the desert strip
Makin' time and losin' grip
Drivin' circles in the [G]canyons [D]of my [G]mind

[Verse 2]
I'm [G]an outsider lookin' in
I got a perfect square for a
circle of friends
It's the four of us against the rest [C]of you
[D]But really I am all alone
I'd sell 'em out to save my own
I told them that but they
don't buy [G]the truth

[Verse 3]
I'm [G]a high steppin', high bettin'
Love givin', I'm a love gettin'
I'm a stranger,
I love stretchin' out my [C]wheels[D]
Overnightin' on the desert strip
Makin' time and losin' grip
Drivin' circles in the canyons
of my mind
[G]

[Verse 4]
[D]
Well it's warfare out
there, folks
You're either working for suc[Ebdim]cess
Or to be rich [Em]or, God help us,
famous
Or you're work[D]ing against
the clock [G]just to stay afloat
[C]Got your nose all scraped
up from the grindstone
[G]You're digging for diamonds and only
find[A]ing rhinestones
Meanwhile it's August and the tax [G]man has
never heard of summer vacation
[F#]You're either working on yourself
or you're lookin' after babies
[G]Takin' care of your old man
or your old lady
And the direct line to the hospital
just says "Leave a message"
[C]See, you can only live one
day at a time
Only drive [G]one hot rod at a time
[A]Only say one word at a time
And only think one thought at a time
And every soul is alone
when the day becomes night
[Em]And there in the dark
if you can try to [G]see the light
In the most pitch black [C]shape
of the loneliest shadow
Well then you ought to sleep [Em]well
'Cause there's hope for [A]sure
Well I don't know about
all that being true but
I do [C]know this
The best beggars are [G]choosers

[Verse 5]
[C]
The best winners are [G]losers
[C]The best [D]lovers ain't never been [G]loved
[C]And first place ain't eas[G]y
[C]The hardest part is [G]be [C]lieving
The very last word is love
[D]

[Verse 6]
I'm a [G]high steppin', high bettin'
Love givin', I'm a love gettin'
I'm a stranger, I love stretchin' out
my [C]wheels[D]
Overnightin' on the desert strip
Makin' time and losin' grip

[Outro 1]
Drivin' circles in the canyons of my mind
[G]
