[A]
I was never one [D] for country, man.
[A] Couldn't fit at school.
Gowns were bad [D] for seventh grade.
[E] I played [A] them all the fool.
[E] Yeah, I couldn't find shoes [D] [A] myself.
Had to walk [D] ten miles.
[A] There's blisters [D] on the backs of my [E] soles.
And in [A] legal style.
[E] We're burning down Las Vegas [D] [A] town.
Had to sleep [D] by noon.
[A] I drank my money [D] on a red roulette.
[E] That's a ride you [A] can't refuse.
[E] Five hours down with a [D] sunrise [A] crown.
Lightning in [D] your shoes.
[A] It's one foot [D] in the ether.
[E] With the L.A. [A] County blues.
[D] [A]

[A]
They got me on [D]
accessory.
[E] Thirty [A] days in jail.
One head loud [D] and a little bit bent.
[E] Without a [A] chance of bail.
[E] Tell me how about Derby [D] Hicks town.
[A] So please say do you [D] see.
[A] Mint tulips on [D] the outfield grass.
[E] The old south [A] pass so sweet.
[E] We're burning down Las Vegas [D] town.
[A]
Had to sleep by [D] noon.
[A] I drank my money [D] on a red roulette.

You [Am] can call me Mr.
[D] Rowell Duke.
[A] I know what you mean.
Blinded by a [D] quarter of rum.
And [E] a dozen [A]
Bescaline.
[E] The Benz 400 couldn't slow [D] me [A] down.
I kinda lack [D] the speed.
[A] With the failure of [D] our generation.
[E] For a couple of [A] bags of weed.
[E] We're burning down Las Vegas [D] town.
[A] Had to sleep by [D] noon.
[A] I drank my money [D] on a red roulette.
