Lic^Dm7orice tat^C7too, turned a gu^Dm7n metal blue ^{C7 Dm7}Scrawled acros^C7s the shou^Fm7lders of a d^Ebying^G# town ^{C7 Dm7}The one eyed ja^C7cks, across the rail^Dm7road tra^C7cks And the ^Dm7scar ^C7on its ^Fm7belly p^Ebulled a s^G#tranger passing throu^C7gh He was a juve^Dm7nile delinqu^C7ent, never le^Dm7arned how to be^C7have But the cop^Bbm7s would never think to look In B^C7urma Sha^Dm7ve

And the roa^Bbm7d was like a ribbon^C7, and the m^Dm7oon was like a b^C7one He d^Dm7idn't s^C7eem to ^Fm7be like ^Ebany g^G#uy she'd ever know^C7n He kinda lo^Dm7oked like Farley Gr^C7ainger, with his ^Dm7hair slicked ^C7back She says I'm a su^Dm7cker f^C7or a ^Fm7fella ^Ebin a c^G#owboy h^C7at ^Dm7How far are you goi^C7ng He said depe^Dm7nds on w^Bbm7hat you me^C7an He says I'm o^Bbm7nly stop in ' here to get some gasolin^C7e I g^Dm7uess I'm going th^C7ataway just as lo^Dm7ng as it's pave^C7d And I ^Bbm7guess you'd say I'm on my way To b^C7urma sha^Dm7ve

And with her kn^Bbm7ees up on the glove co^C7mpartment, ^Dm7took out her bar^C7rettes And her h^Dm7air spilled ^Cout like ro^Fm7ot beer And she po^G#pped her gum and ^C7arched her back Hell Ma^Dm7rysville ain't not^C7hing , but a w^Dm7ide spot in the ^C7road Some night my h^Bbm7eart pounds just like thunder I don't know w^C7hy it don't explode ^Dm7Cause everyone in this st^C7inking town, has got o^Dm7ne foot in the gr^C7ave And I'd ra^Bbm7ther take my chances Out in Bu^C7rma shave^Dm7

^Dm7Presley's what I go^C7 by, why d^Dm7on't you change the st^C7ation Count the g^Dm7rain ^Celev^Fm7ators in the r^G#earview m^C7irror Mister anyw^Dm7here you po^C7int this thing, has got to b^Dm7eat the hell out of the s^C7ting ^Dm7Of going to ^C#bed with ev^C7ery dream that ^Dm7dies here every mor^C7nin, And so^Bbm7 drill me a ^C7hole With a ^Dm7barber pole I'm j^Bbm7umping my par^C7ole just like a ^Dm7fugitive ton^C7ight Why don't you ^Bbm7have another sw^C7ig, and pass that ^Dm7car if you're so b^C7rave I wanna get ^Bbm7there before the sun comes up in ^C7Burma sha^Dm7ve

And the s^Dm7pider w^Ceb c^Fm7rack a^Ebnd the ^G#mustang sc^C7reamed ^Dm7Smoke f^Crom the t^Fm7ires a^Ebnd the t^G#wisted mac^C7hine Just a ni^Dm7ckel's worth of dr^C7eams and every w^Dm7ishbone that they s^C7aved Lie s^Bbm7windled from them on the way to ^C7Burma hav^Dm7e

And the ^Bbm7sun hit the d^C7errick and c^Dm7ast a bat wing s^C7hadow ^Bbm7Up against the ^C7car door on the s^Dm7hotgun side ^C7 And when they p^Bbm7ulled her from the wre^C7ck you know she ^Dm7Still had on her s^C7hades They say that d^Bbm7reams are growing wild just this side of ^C7Burma Shav^Dm7e
