And his name, _ _ what's his name?
_ That's right, [Am] _ his name was Spike.
_ _ I used to see Spike when we lived down in Gainesville, Florida years ago. _ _
[E] I used to see him out walking in the middle of the summer wearing that dog collar.
_ [Am]
Had his leather jacket on.
_ _ _ One day we saw him headed right for this bar in town.
I'd never been in that bar.
It was called the Cypress Lounge.
_ [A] They always told us never to go in [Am] the Cypress Lounge.
_ _ Mike was there.
This is Mike Campbell over here playing the guitar. _ _ _ _ _ _
We were sitting there doing nothing.
And we saw Spike walking right through the Cypress Lounge.
I said, Mike, this is going to be good. _ _
[E] _ [Am] So I followed him in, I walked in out of the sunlight.
It was real dark in that bar, I couldn't see nothing.
I could see the glow of a jukebox in the back.
And I could hear [A] this voice say, look, [Am] we've got another one.
[E] Just like the other ones.
Another bad ass.
Another [G] troublemaker.
I'm scared of you boys.
I'm scared [E] of you.
This one's going to show us what [F] that is.
We've got a man with a dog collar on.
[G] Think we ought to throw a spike at him.
_ _ [Am] _ _ _
Spike [A] would sing. _ _ _ _
He's got a_ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ Well, [Am] here's another misfit.
Another [A] Jimmy Dean.
I bet he's got a motorbike.
[Em] What do y'all think?
[G] I bet if we be good, we'll get a ride on it.
If he ain't too [Am] mad about the future.
[C] We want to help him see.
[G] The future ain't what it used to be.

_ _ _ Well, can you tell me about life, Spike?
_ _ _ Well, I want to know.
You _ might need me, a dog collar too, boy.
I _ _ like it.
It might feel good.
I might see the world a whole new way.
I might be a brand new man. _
I might be one bad motherfucker.

_ _ _ [G]
Sir, Spike, tell us about life.
[Am] _ _ _ _
_ _ Well, it got real [E] quiet in that bar. _
_ _ And I remember seeing Spike slide down easy off of that bar stool.
[Am] _ Walk straight to the door and threw it open.
_ _ _ Sun came in like a searchlight. _
_ _ _ And Spike walked straight to the side of Interstate 75.
_ _ And he stuck out his thumb [A] and said,
Doo-doo-dee-dee-dee.
Doo-doo-dee-dee-dee.
Doo-doo-dee-dee-dee-dee.
