He's off to his room on the Mexican side
F Dm
Says he's through with the railroad freight car line
Gm Am Bb
The fight between the moon and the latern light
F Dm
Says he'm goin cross county but he might come back
Gm Am Bb
But stickin to the highway to hell with the tracks
F Am Dm
I can't take what you may give me
Gm C7 F
I've always wanted more
F Am Dm
My mercury hummin road may put put me
Gm C7 F
To sleep outside your door
F Dm
He's got a brand new baby she's got a new pair of shoes
Gm Am Bb
He's drivin somebody's car but he don't know whose
F Dm
Been up all night but it don't show
Gm Am Bb
He Won twenty-five dollars in the hammer throw
F Dm
Three fingered guitar he's a saxophone that bites
Gm Am Bb
Jack's been reading her poetry he's been spillin her wine
F Dm
Her hair's so pretty she smells like Juicy Fruit gum
Gm Am Bb
Her old man's the black guy on those congo drums
F Am Dm
I can't take what you may give me
Gm C7 F
I've always wanted more

Maybe he should call her he just ain't got the dough
Gm ' Am Bb
Maybe he;ll step on outside and check the radio
F Dm
It's playing her song man it just ain't his
Gm Am Bb
See a Man like him's got no business with the wife and the kids
F Dm
It's the last of the red wine from a night full of thrill
Gm Am Bb
It's a coast to the bottom of a Frisco hill
F Dm
How can a body begrudge another body a ride
Gm Am Bb
I didn't steal your car man just bottowed it awhile
