[N]
I was born on the side of a road, a gap in the head, should you hear what I said.
Born in a house with no snakes, but I would switch it and [G] have stitched.
I've always been out of the limp, I've been hard to mend like a kick in the shin.
[Bb] You'll only see [F] me smile [Bb] when I eat up every [G] country mile.
I've never been that ambitious to move, something [Gm] to prove, an inch of my truth.
I had the will of a train from a burnt running stack and I jumped [G] up and back.
There the engineer threw the switch, got in my brain, I've been a beast.
[Bb] You'll [F] only see me smile [Bb] when I eat up every [G] country mile.
Yeah!
[C] Gotta make tracks, gotta lose some rust, grease my heels, I race the bus.
Don't blink your eyes, you won't see me [D] again.

[Bb] You'll only see me smile when I eat up every [G] country mile.
I was born on the side of the road, a gaffer in the head, so you'll hear what I said.
Born in a house with no snakes, but I would switch it and have stitched.

[Bb] You'll only [F] see me smile when I chew up [G] every country mile.
