^CAll along the Navaho Trai^Fl ^Amburnouts stub their ^Emtoes on garbage pai^Dls ^CWaitresses crying in the ra^Fin ^AmWill their boyfriends^Em pass this way agai^Dn ^GOh Mother Goose she's on the skids ^Amthe shoe ain't happy neither are the kids ^BmShe needs someone that she^C can scream at ^GAnd I'm such at heel ^Dfor making her so bad

^CI guess I'll call it sickness gon^Fe ^AmIt's hard to say the ^Emmeaning to this so^Dng ^CAn ambulance can only go so fas^Ft ^AmIt's easy to get ^Emburied in the pas^Dt ^CWhen you try to make a good thing l^Fast Am Em D
