Lic^Dm7orice tat^C7too, turned a ^Dm7gun metal bl^C7ue ^Dm7Scrawled ^C7across the ^Fm7shoulders of a ^Ebdyin^G#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 r^Bbm7oad was like a ^C7ribbon, and the ^Dm7moon was like a ^C7bone He d^Dm7idn't s^C7eem to ^Fm7be like any ^Ebguy she'd ^G#ever ^C7known He kinda l^Dm7ooked like Farley G^C7rainger, with his^Dm7 hair slicked^C7 back She says i'm a ^Dm7sucker ^C7for a ^Fm7fella ^Ebin a ^G#cowboy ^C7hat ^Dm7How far are you ^C7going He said ^Dm7depends on ^Bbm7what you m^C7ean He says i'm o^Bbm7nly stop in ' here to get some gasolin^C7e I g^Dm7uess i'm going th^C7ataway just as ^Dm7long as it's pa^C7ved And I ^Bbm7guess you'd say i'm on my way To b^C7urma sha^Dm7ve

And with her ^Bbm7knees up on the glove compar^C7tment, she ^Dm7took out her b^C7arrettes And her h^Dm7air spilled ^Cout like ^Fm7root beer And she ^G#popped her gum and ^C7arched her back Hell ^Dm7Marysville ain't n^C7othing , but a ^Dm7wide spot in the ^C7road Some nights my ^Bbm7heart pounds just like thunder i don't know ^C7why it don't explode ^Dm7Cause everyone in this ^C7stinking town, has got ^Dm7one foot in the g^C7rave And i'd ra^Bbm7ther take my chances Out in^C7 burma s^Dm7have

^Dm7Presley's what i ^C7go by, why ^Dm7don't you change the s^C7tation Count the g^Dm7rain ^Celev^Fm7ators in the r^G#earview m^C7irror Mister a^Dm7nywhere you ^C7point this thing, has got to beat ^Dm7the hell out of the ^C7sting ^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 t^C7onight 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 ^Dm7spider ^Cweb ^Fm7crack ^Eband the^G# mustang s^C7creamed ^Dm7Smoke f^Crom the t^Fm7ires ^Eband the ^G#twisted ma^C7chine Just a ni^Dm7ckel's worth of dr^C7eams and every wishbone ^Dm7that they s^C7aved Lie s^Bbm7windled from them on the way to ^C7Burma Shav^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 ^C7wreck you know she ^Dm7Still had on her s^C7hades They say that d^Bbm7reams are growing wild just this side of ^C7Burma Shav^Dm7e
