_ I've taken a trip out to L.A.
[Cm] Tooling along with my Chevrolet.
[G] I was choking on lumber and digging on the [C] radio. _ _
And just as I crossed that big city [Cm] line, I heard that highway [G] start to whine.
I knew that bridge I was about [C] to go. _ _
What's fair was that night I got in a tight car so I [Cm] couldn't get to the station.
Besides, I [G] just walked off the side of the show to look around.
[C] _ _ _
I went as far as I could and wanted to stop the car.
I was driving around this little bar, [G] kind of a redneck, crooked joint.
I called Hugh [C] Droppy.
_ [E] _
[C] Stuffed all my hair in front of my hat.
[Cm] Went and told the bartender how it happened.
[G] Would he be kind enough to give me change [C] for a one? _ _
There was one thing I was sure proud to see.
I don't [Cm] want to spoil that place up for him.
[G] He just looked disgusting on a doorbell.
[C] _ _
On the other station down the road, the waitress said,
Well, we ain't very busy today.
[G] We have somebody there in just about 10 minutes [C] or so.
He said, Now you just stay right where you're at.
I [Cm] didn't bother to tell him the dirty [G] move.
I showed him that I didn't have it any place else to [C] go. _ _
_ _ _ _ [A] _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ [C] _ _ _ _
_ _ [Cm] _ _ _ [F] _ _ _

_ _ _ _ _ [C] _ _ _
He started up a beer and sat down at the [Cm] bar.
Some guy walked in and said, Who owns that [D] bar?
He said, Matt Wheeler [C] from 4th & 4th. _
He looked at me and I said, I'm your guy.
[Cm] He said, _
_ _ [D] I'm the idiot [C] who owns it. _
Just when I thought I _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
was all over it.
_ _ I had this lady's [A] son.
When I did all that hair, it fell out from under me. _
_ The last thing I wanted [Cm] was to get back.
[C] Jackson, Mississippi on Saturday nights.
[Dm] There was six of them and [C] only one of me. _
_ [Cm] They all started laughing.
I got [F] a bit sick.
I knew [Cm] I better make something [D] for the kids.
I just reached back and kept [C] going.
Green beans right in the head.
_ [D] He let out a yell that [C] occurred in your hair.
But before you could move, I grabbed these guys.
_ [D] _ _ [C] _ _ [A] _
_ You may not know it, but this man's a spy.
He was under a great deal of pressure.
He was a big guy.
He was [D] sitting down here.
He didn't [C] feel pretty.
He was _ _ still going [Cm] over, holding on to his thing.
I _ had painted an old picture in the hair. _ _
_ [C] Never do you believe this man has gone this far in grand re _ _ _ [D] _ _ [C] _ _ _
-
He's a friend of them long-haired hippie type people.
[Cm] I bet you he's even got a comedy [D] plaque.
That's up on the wall.
Inside of [C] his piranha.
_ He's a snake in the grass, I can tell you guys.
[Cm] He may look dumb, but that's just a disguise.
[D] He's a mastermind.
From the [C] way he says, Vietnam.
_ They all started looking real suspicious of him.
[Cm] Jumped up and said, wait a minute, [Dm] Jim.
You know he's lying?
I've been [C] living here all of my life.
_ I'm a faithful father of brothers.
_ [Cm] _ _ _ _ [Dm] _ _ [C] _
_ _ _ I did start saying something about the way I was dressed.
I didn't stay around to hear the [G] rest.
But I was too busy living the whole _ [C] _ _ -
When I [G] hit the ground, I was making tracks.
And [A] this kid _ _ _ wanted to jump in the fire and get [G] my son.
[C] You know Richard Teddy, he sure been proud [F] of the way I was moving.
My past [G] said, Dr.
Cullen, I ain't no, ain't no [C] Jim Cullen.
_ _ Well, I knew I'd shoot your head in [F] front.
So I just couldn't resist the thought of [G] chasing him all just once around [C] the park.
_ _ They had a run of cars and I hit the gas.
[F] Thought I ran ahead of them all.
They passed [G] on the street and grabbed [Em] me and put me in a dusted ass.
_ _ [C] And I had a lot of that stuff in the bag.
[F] You know, I had a head thrown by and I had some [E] protection.
But I figured I better go ahead and slip [G] before they got to that [C] guy.
_ [Am] When I hit them, [C] they looked at me like I was a thief.
And they had [G] gravel blinds and rubber spits.
I didn't slow down because I was all dyed [G] in salt.
_ [Em]
I thank God for him and he helped my trip.
[F] I wonder if everybody's like I [G] was back when the M.I.A. was in the back of my [C] car. _ _
