Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[G][C][G][Em][C]
[G]

[Verse 1]
On a [G]rattlesnake
speedway [D]in [Em]the Utah desert
I [C]pick up my money and head
back into [G]town
Driving 'cross the Waynesboro
[D]cou[Em]nty line
I got the ra[C]dio on and I'm
just killing [G]time
[Em]Working all day in my [G]daddy's garage
Driv[Em]ing all night chasing
[Am]some mirage
[C]Pretty soon little girl I'm
gon[D]na take charge

[Verse 2]
The dog[G]s on Main Street howl
'Cause they [C]understand
[G]If I could tak[Em]e one mom[C]ent
into my hand[G]s
Mister I ain't a boy, [C]no, I'm [G]a man
And [Em]I beli[C]eve in a promised la[G]nd
I've done my best [D]to live

[Verse 3]
[Em]the right way
I get [C]up every morning and go
to work each [G]day
But your eyes go blind and your
[Em]blood runs cold
Sometimes I [C]feel so weak
I just want to explode
[G]Explo[Em]de and tear this
whole [G]town apart
Take [Em]a knife and cut this [Am]pain from my heart
[C]Find somebody itching
[D]for something to start

[Verse 4]
The dog[G]s on Main Street howl
'Cause they [C]understand
[G]If I could wre[Em]nch one mom[C]ent
into my hand[G]s
Mister I ain't a boy, [C]no, [G]I'm a man
And [Em]I beli[C]eve in a promised la[G]nd

[G]Well there's a dark

[Verse 5]
cloud rising
[D]from [Em]the desert floor
I packed [C]my bags and I'm heading
straight into [G]the storm
Gonna be a twister to blow
[Em]everything down
That ain't [C]got the faith to stand its ground
[G]Blow awa[Em]y the dreams
that [G]tear you apart
Blow [Em]away the dreams that
[G]break your heart
Blow [Em]away the lies [G]that leave you nothing
but [C]lost and broken[D]hearted

[Verse 6]
The dog[G]s on Main Street howl
'Cause they [C]understand
[G]If I could tak[Em]e one mom[C]ent
into my hand[G]s
Mister I ain't a boy, [C]no I'm a [G]man
And [Em]I beli[C]eve in a promised la[G]nd

[Verse 7]
And [Em]I beli[C]eve in a promised la[G]nd
And [Em]I beli[C]eve in a promised la[G]nd
