I'm [C] [G]
[Em] [C] [G]
[C] [G]
[Em] [C] [G]
riding a snake speedway in [Em] the Utah desert.
[C] I pick up my money, head back in [G] the town.
Driving across the Waynesboro [E] County line.
I got [C] the radio on, but I'm just [D] killing time.
[Em] Working all day in my [G] daddy's garage.
[Em] Driving all night chasing [Am] some mirage.
[C] Well pretty soon little girl [D] I'm gonna take charge.
All the [G] dogs on Main Street howl, cause they understand.
If I [B] could take one [C] moment into [G] my hands.
Mister I ain't a boy, no I'm a man.
And I believe in a promise, man.
[Em] [C] [G]
When I've done my best to [Em] live the right way.
I get [C] up every morning, go to work each [G]
day.
But your eyes go blind, and [Em] your blood runs cold.
Sometimes [C] I feel so weak, [A] I just [G] wanna explode.
[E] Explode and tear this [G] whole town apart.
Take [Em] a knife and cut this [Am] pain from my heart.
[C] Try to find somebody to chin for [D] something to start.
All the [G] dogs on Main Street howl, cause they understand.
If I could take one [C] moment into my [G] hands.
Mister I ain't a boy, [C] no [G] I'm a man.
[Em] And I [G] believe in a [A] promise, man.
[G] [C] [G]
[Em] [G]
[C] [G]
[Bm] [G]
There's a dark cloud rising [Em] across the desert floor.
[C] I pack my bags and I'm heading [G] straight into the storm.
Gonna be a twister to blow [Em] everything down.
[C] That ain't got the faith to [D] stand this ground.
Blow [Em] away the dreams [G] that tear you apart.
Blow away the dreams that break your heart.
Blow away the lies that leave you nothing but [C] lost and broken [D]
hearted.
[G] All the dogs on Main Street howl, cause they understand.
If I could take [C] one moment into my [G] hands.
Mister I [A] ain't a boy, no I'm a man.
[Em] And I [C] believe in a [A] promise, man.
And [Em] I [A] believe in a promise, [G] man.
And I believe in a promise, man.
