[Am] [A] This is a song here this comes from our Southern accents album
[D] [A]
[Am] It's a song about a boy boy with a [A] dog collar on
And the boys name is spike
I'll give you a little background on spike
[Am] You know spike, he's an old friend of Benmont Tents, Benmont Tents on the Oregon by the way
We [D] used to see him, we used to see [A] spike walking around down in Gainesville Florida
He [D] was out one day in the middle of July, [A] it was a hot day
They had a leather on, dog collar
And he seen a little bar, you know, it looked good despite a couple of gas pumps and a pool table in there
So he walked on in, way in the back of the bar, way in the dark in the back of the bar
Way over by, across from the jukebox, [Am] he heard a voice
[A] Said look we got another one, just like the other ones, another bad ass, another [G] troublemaker
I'm scared ain't you boys scared, [B] hey
Wonder if it's gonna show us [F] what bad is, well we got a man with a dog [C] collar on
[G] Think we ought to throw a spike, [Am] come [A] on Spike said
Do-do-do-de-de-di-de, do-do-do-do-de-di-de
[D] Well here's another misfit, [A] another Jimmy Dean that [Em] has got a [Am] motorbike
What do y [G]'all think, that if we be good, we'll get a [Am] ride on it
[Em] If he ain't too mad about the [F] future
Baby we wanna [C] help you [G] see
The future ain't what it used to [A] be
[Am] Hey [G]
Spike!
Why are you [A] lying?
[G] I ain't [Am] [D] lying! Nothing!
[C] [D]
[C] [D]
[E]
[A] Sir, hey sir!
The future [D] ain't [A] what it used [D] to [A] be
The future ain't what it used to be You're [G] lying!
Spike!
[Am]
[Gm] Spike!
You're scaring my [A] wife!
[G] Spike, tell us about life
[Em]
[Am] Can you tell me about life, Spike?
I wanna know!
I need to know!
I'm not me!
I don't gotta do more!
Hell, I might want one too!
It might make me a whole new man!
Hell, I'm not safe!
I might be so good!
I'm [Em]
[A] [Am] not safe!
[G] [Am] I'm not [G]
[Am] safe!
[G] Hell with it!

Will you tell me?
Will you tell me about life, Spike?
I wanna know!
Spike just got up off the bar stool
He [E] walked straight out [Am] the door to Interstate 75
And he stuck out his thumb [A] and said
Do do do do do do
Do do do do do do
Do do do do do do do
Do do do do do do do
