[C#]
My name is Segway Lane.
[C#m] [C#] And I'm walking through the ice and [B] snow.
[C#] Never thought you'd do me out last [B] week.
Little [F#] fucking broke.
[G#m] [C#] Nothing but this other in my pocket.
Have I caught forty-five?
[B] [C#] Don't look at me the wrong [B] way.
Cause I got [F#] nothing to lose [D#] tonight.
[C#] Want you to take this.
[C#m] And put it all [E] down.
[A] [C#] Send the dollar into a few.
I start drinking [E] and I turn around.
[A]
[C#] Cause I feel a pair of eyes.
Burning [E] into the back of my neck.
[A] [C#] And he's looking to the barkeep.
[F#] God damn fool [E] wants to turn to me.
[C#m] So I stood up from my seat.
And [E] pressed the cold steel to his head.
[A] Said, [C#m] don't you know who the fuck I am?
It's [B] a [C#] Segway Lane.
Please don't take my life.
[G#m] I [C#] gotta get back home.
[B] And [E] I've [F#] got a wife.
[C#m]
He [C#] said, please Seg, please.
I'm a friend, not a foe.
[B] What's [C#m] your goose with Billy?
I [B] put the mango.
[F#] I just thought you should know.
[C#]
[A] I put some whoop whoop whoop to the walk [E] outside.
Still the first last call I see.
[C] That's just my blood sucking for you.
I start to take a little ride.
[C#] I leave the car running.
Pull down the brim [E] of my black Stetson hat.
[C#] I look around and I see no witness.
One last drink [E] for myself of last.
[C#] I kick open the door.
See the bodies intertwine.
See the fear in [E] their eyes.
I put my car on 45.
[C#] And I feel divine.
Whoa, Segway Lane.
You're a bad, bad man.
[B] [C#] Oh, Segway Lane.
[B] You're going [F#] straight to hell.
[G#]
[C#] Segway Lane, Segway Lane.
You're a bad, bad [G#m] man.
[C#m] Oh, Segway Lane.
[B] You're going [E] straight to hell.
