[E]
Santa Florida take it on a long-distance rail train
jump a ride on a cattle truck and a tow train
[A] [E]
[Em] [F#] I guess it doesn't matter
long as I can get my head down in the [E] slug
I wrote a rocket song on a sing-a-night station
Finished on the world plan and reached my destination

_ _ _ _ _ _ came here in the morning and I crept out in the middle of night
I _ _ _ _ see nobody walking, I was leaving out of balance of light
_ _ _ _ [B] Now I'm home again, [E] sure it's [A] feeling alright
_ _ _ _ Got a feeling that I'm leaving with a ticket and I woke up alive _
_ _ _ _ _ _ Nobody's here believing that my leaving was a rocket flight
Now _ _ _ [B] I'm home again, [E] sure it's feeling [A] alright _

Can't afford a ticket on a lonely car or [Am] airplane
_ I _ _ _ _ _ gotta jump right on a ground-floor subway
_ I _ _ _ _
_ [B] guess it doesn't matter
_ [E] As long as I can get my head down [Am] in the slug _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ I know when I'm gone I'll sing-a-night station
Uh, _ _ _ _ _ _ _ this is a _ family _ frustration
_ [A] _
_ _ _ _ _ _ [B] _ _
_ _ _ Now it [Em] doesn't matter
As long as I can get my head down [Am] in the slug _ _ _ _ _ _ _
[B] I guess it doesn't matter _
_ [E] As long as I can get my head down [Am] in the slug _ _ _ _
_ _ [B] I guess it doesn't matter
