Thank y'all.
[N]
I just hope that all of you came out tonight.
We're going to do some songs and tell some stories, I guess.
I might as well have been delegated the first victim here.
There's a song, it's about a West Texas woman, West Texas joint.
Grew up in a similar situation.
And Ryan grew up in Hobbs, which is kind of like Mar.
[F] I usually say that in
[C]
Nobody really had a memory where we grew up until you got your first car,
because you had absolutely no reason to have a memory.
And got that car.
A lot of [A] times people would circle and people [B] would dance in the middle with the headlights,
circle their cars and point the headlights in and dance.
A [A] number of people think that the reason a lot of [B] musicians came from that part of the country
was because spaceships flew over [Ab] them.
So they circled.
[N] Sucked up some of these people.
[A] Well, you know, [Ab] in the honky [B]-tonks, everybody danced in a circle, too.
Yeah.
Made some more heat [Ab] circles.
[A] And they all danced in counterclockwise.
[Bb] [N] That's real interesting to [E] hear.
[A] [E] [C]
Anyway, I want to sing a song about growing up in that part of the country.
[G] Some of the first [C] great music anybody heard came from the border, came from Del Rio.
Thank you for your time.
Yeah, Wolfman Jack.
And this song is called The [Ab] Wolfman of Del Rio.

[F]
[G] [C]
[F]
[G] I picked up the [C] radio
Going [F] a hundred miles an hour down [C] the blue asphalt of mine
[G] Listening to the wolfman of [A] Del Rio
[Am] [F] And he didn't give [G] a damn [C] about the trouble he was in
[F] It deep down in [G] his soul
He just wanted [C] to go
[F] You could tell by the look on [C] his face
[F] He's all caught up with [C] the need
[F] To trade in some empty [C] gas spaces
Of [G] Austin, C .E.
That good old [C] American dream
And she took her first release on [F] the back seat
[G] Of a 1961 black V8 [C] Ford
She just gave up all control on [F] that vinyl
Hit [G] it real hard with the dark-eyed boy that she barely [C] even knowed
[F] Going a hundred miles an hour down [C] the blue asphalt of mine
[G] Listening to the wolfman of [Am] Del Rio
And [F] she didn't [G] give a damn [C] about the trouble she was in
[F] It deep down in [G] her soul
She just wanted [C] to flow
You [F] could tell by the paint [C] on her face
She's [F] all made up for [C] the need
[F] To trade in some empty [C] gas places
Of [G] Austin, C .E.
And that good old [C] American dream
[F]
[G]
[C]
And [G] now they circle one another
Armed with the lives [C] from their past
[G] And they fight to the death for their lives
Until that [C] feeling is passed
And [F] they sit and they smoke and they drink
And [G] they talk and talk and talk and talk
And then [C] they stop around
Like [G] they're looking for something they've lost
That can never again be [C] found
And it's [F] crazy
It's crazy in the backyard, the bedroom, the kitchen
Crazy out [G] in the streets
Of through all their cities
[C] And even smaller towns
[G] And most certainly seen some diseases
The dreams [C] of them going around
And [G] most certainly seen some diseases
The dreams of [C] them going around
A [F] hundred miles an hour down [C] the blue asphalt of mine
[G] Listening to the wolfman of Del [A] Rio
