[A]
I got a cracked windshield and Mardi Gras beans
Some trucker hats and old hotel keys [E] We got a dash full of trash [A] and other [D] band
CDs I [A] got a cracked [E] windshield and Mardi [A] Gras
beans We're breaking points and broken guitar strings
We bet big and we lost everything [E] Damn near wasted all our twenties
[A] Chasing [D] down a dream Now [A] we're all breaking [E] points and broken [A] guitar
strings [D] We ain't ever gonna make it [A] like I thought
we [D] would So why can't we just pack it [A] up and say we
did the [E] best we could [A] I used to be a decent man
Then [E] life just [D] took its toll Now I'm just a casualty of rock [A] and roll
[D] [A] [D] [A]
[D] [A] Cruising time in old footed vans [D] [A] Different town, the same old one night stand
[E] Another midnight music, cowboy [A] boots with axes [D] on her hands
[A] Comes the [E] time in old [A] footed vans It's like playing a game you know you'll never
win [D] You're [A] down to your last hand and you're all
in [E] Then I turn it up and you double [A] up just
to bet it [D] all again You [A] see we're playing a [E] game we know we'll
[A] never win [D] We ain't ever gonna make it [A] like I thought
we would [D] So why can't we just pack it [E] up and say we
did the best we could I [A] should have been a doctor or a lawyer
Or a [E] policeman [D] of patrol Instead I'm a casualty of rock [A] and roll
[D]
[A] [D] [A] [D]
[A] [D] [A] Tell my mama and my daddy that I tried [D] [A] Tell all my friends and family goodbye
Cause [E] if the road is where you live, [A] boy The road is [D] where you'll die
[A] Tell my mama [E] and my daddy [A] that I tried We [D] ain't ever gonna make it [A] like I thought
we would [D] So why can't we just pack it up and say [E] we
did the best we could Gave [A] my heart to the highway, she returned
[E] it full of [D] holes We're [A] just casualties of rock and roll
