race car joe Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
Race car [G]Joe[D]
When the [G]wheels are rolling, he's [D]alive
[A]Going [D]94 in a '55
With a burning en[G]gine
he would [Bm]go
Down the [A]Gladewater Highway,
race car [D]Joe

[Verse 2]
Past the Green Frog [G]sign
where they sold [D]beer
He takes his or[A]ders from
[D]an engineer
Then he tells [G]the tool pushers
which way [Bm]to go
It's one day's [A]work for race
car [D]Joe

[Verse 3]
He's got the Camel [G]points
from one last [D]drag
Before he takes [A]the grandkids out
to Six [D]Flags
And the [G]sun has weathered
where the wrinkles [Bm]show
But the years ain't [A]broken race car [D]Joe,

[Interlude 1]
yeah
[G][D][A][D]
[G][Bm][A][D]

[Verse 4]
There's restless dream[G]s,
there's oil [D]fires
There's broken drill [A]bits on a
blown- out [D]tire
There's nude [G]strip joints,
it's a holy [Bm]row
He's seen [A]'em all, race car [D]Joe

[Verse 5]
He's six foot [G]five,
East Texas [D]style
He's brand- new [A]teeth
now on a crooked [D]smile
In a one- ton [G]pickup,
with a cancer [Bm]glow
When he looks [A]at you, race car [D]Joe
When he [Bm]laughs with

[Verse 6]
[A]you,
race car [D]Joe
When he smiles at [A]you, race car [D]Joe
