[Bb] [Eb] I was driving, doing nothing, [Cm] on the shores of Quetzale,
[Ab] When they put it on the air, I [Cm] put it in the hammer lane,
[Eb] I soon forgot myself, and [Cm] I forgot about the brakes,
[Ab] I forgot about my laws, and [Cm] I forgot [Bb] about them,
They [Eb] were talking, moonlighting [Cm] all across the A-Band,
[Ab] Across the road, they were turning [Cm] around, I didn't [Bb] stop them,
It got [Eb] so crowded, while I was [Cm] driving in the sand,
[Ab] My head was filled with scare, [Cm] but my heart was [Gm] feeling free,
[Eb] The desert was a tomb, I could [Cm] see that everybody heard,
[Ab] Everybody woke up, and when [Cm] you forget, they [Bb] have the chills,
[Eb] And I heard the horses on the [Cm] front pass by all my work,
[Ab] They were getting interviewed by [Cm] some good man, his [Bb] name was Bill,
[Eb] I almost did to Vegas, [Cm] where that brother on that show,
That [Ab] comes up in the song, and [Cm] I [Gm] must just go and [Eb] say hello.
