[Em]
I was cruising my [G] micro bus down 143, [D] [Am] bottle of Jack [Em] Daniels on the seat.
I was drinking and driving, [G] just glad to be [D] alive.
When who [G] the hell [Am] on earth [Em] do you think I am?
My old friend Scratchy pulled [G] on side this Eldorado,
what a [D] ride, said, hey, [Am] hey, see, how [Em] the hell you been?
Last time we raced, I [G] cheated, and I refused to be defeated.
[D] Let's see you [Am] and me do it [Em] all again.
[D]
[Am] [Em]
[D] [G] [Am] [Em]
I said, okay, Scratch, [G] I'll give you that rematch,
[D] but it might be [Am] a 14 [Em]-F for me.
He broke into a grin and [G] said, I'll bring her back again,
[D] and you'll [Am] laugh at me just like you [Em] used to be.
I said, okay, let's do [G] it, and we got right into it,
[D]
side by [Am] side with [Em] pedals to the floor.
I might have been discouraged, [G] but the whiskey gave me courage,
[D] and I [Em] just laughed when he [Am]
smashed in [Em] my driver's door.
[D]
[Am] [Em]
[D] [Am] [Em]
We were twisting and turning, [G] you could smell that rubber burning.
[D] At that moment, [A] I was quite [Em] prepared to die,
because even if my guts got splattered [G] on that road, it wouldn't matter.
[D] My [G] entire [A] life's been nothing [Em] but a lie.

This right wire was [G] drooling, and I knew that they weren't [D] fooling.
They'd been waiting [Am] a long [Em] time to take me down.
I thought about my baby, [G] and the day she up and left [D] me,
and I swore I [Am] wasn't gonna [Em] lose this round.
He pulled ahead like [G] lightning, and it should have been more frightening,
[D] but I just smiled, [Am] and I said a [Em] little prayer.
Gee, I forgot to mention [G] that the Lord refilled my energy.
[D] When I passed the fetch, [Am] all he [Em] could do was stare.

He admitted that I beat him, [G] but he swore that I still cheated.
[D] Then he cussed [Am] and said, a deal [Em] is a deal.
But I told him he could keep her, [G] said I could buy my trouble cheaper
[D] than a [Am] bottle down at [Em] Dewey's Bar and Grill.
[D]
[Am] [Em]
[D] [Am] [Em]
This ugly dog was going mental [G] when a Lincoln Continental
[D] flew by us [Am] with the dust and [Em] gravel flying.
Then the Lord, he was a-driving, [G] and I was glad to be alive,
and [D] I could have [Am] sworn I saw [Em] that devil crying.
Yeah, I could have [Am] sworn I saw [Em] that devil crying.
[D] Yeah, I could have [Am] sworn I saw [Em] that devil crying.
