No one else's little [Db] kid.
_ My [Cm] dad had a 1957 Chevrolet [Bbm] Stationway.
_ _ [Cm] _ _ _
[Db] It was a drive [Bb] along Route 66.
[D] _ _ [Eb] About 1958, there [F] was a shaving [Gb] cream company called [Ab] PermaShave. _
[Cm] They used to advertise on the side of the road _ with [B] red and white [Fm] [Eb] signs and riddles
that you ruled [Gbm] by.
[C] _ _
[B] _ [Bbm] _ _ [B] I [Cm] always thought it was the name of a town.
_ [Db] I always asked my [Cm] father, I said, _
[Bbm] when the hell are we going to get to PermaShave anyway?
_ [Cm] _ _
And my [Db] father would say,
[E] Be cool.
[Gb] _ _
[Db] _ _ [C] [A] It [Bbm] wasn't until many years later I [Abm] realized what it was.
_ _ _ [Eb] It was a story about a young girl [Bbm] on prom night
[F] wearing a crushed [Bbm]
corsage and a bent formal,
[Ab] leaning up [Gbm] against a Coke [F] machine on a Saturday night
[Bbm] at a foster freeze with her [Ab] thumb out
[C] and she's on her [Db] way to a [C] place called PermaShave.
[Gb] _
_ _ _ [C] _ _ _ _ [Db]
Let's _ [F] _ _ [C] catch that [Gb] car.
[Abm] Come on, Presley.
[Fm] You're brave enough, [A] baby.
[Bbm] Let's get there just [Cm] before the sun comes up.
How does a PermaShave? _
_ _ _ _ _ [C] _ Well, [Bb] [Ab] I was talking to someone down the [Db] road
and he said something about a [Bb] wreck out on the [D] highway.
_ [Ebm] _
He said it's [A] a spider [F] web crack and somehow the Mustang [Gb] screamed
and they [C] saw the [Db] smoke from the tires and [E] the twisted [C] machine
and [Bb] when all you got was the nickels [Gb] with the [G] dream
[F]
[Eb] and had been [Gbm] swindled from you on your way up [Bb] PermaShave, _
[Gb] let the [C] sun hit the derrick and [Db] cast a bad-winged shadow
[C] _ up against the car door [Bb] on the shotgun [Gbm] side.
[C] _ And baby, when they [Db] pulled you out from the wreck,
_ [Abm] you still had on your shades [D] [Db] and dreams are [Ab] growing wild [Db] every [C] night
[B] but I [C] hear [B] they're just the [F] size of a place [Bbm] called PermaShave.
_ [Cm] _ _ _ [Bbm] The foster freeze is closing up now [F] and there's only a few trucks [Bbm] left. _
There's another [Cm] young girl up against [Db] the coke machine
and [Cm] _ _ _ _ [Bb] _ _
she's [Cm] got a sign in her hand.
[Db] She says, I'm on my way to PermaShave.
[Bb] _ _ _ [Ebm] And the fish, _
_ _ [Eb] _ _ _ [Ab] [Gb] fish jump in _ [Ab] _ and look [Gm] out in his _ [Fm] eyes.
_ _ [Gm] _ _ [Ab] _ _
_ [Ebm] _ [Db] _ _ Your [Abm] daddy [Bbm] is real.
[Cm] _ _ Your [Db] daddy is [Eb] real.
_ [F] _ [Cm] And your [C] mama, your [F] mama, _ _ [Cm] _ _ _ [Eb] _ _
_ [F] _ _ _ [D] _ _ [Db] so what's [Abm] stopping you?
[Bbm] _ [A] _ [B] _ _ [C] _ _
_ [Gb] _ [Ab] _ Don't, [Em] don't [Bbm] you cry.
[Bb] _ [Em] _ [C] _ [B] Don't [Bb] cry.
_ _ [F] _ Don't, [Gbm] _ [Bbm] _
don't, _ [Fm] _ don't [Eb] _ [Bbm] _ _
[Fm] you [Ebm] cry.
[A] _ [Bbm] Don't you cry.
_ _ Don't cry. _
_ _ [F] Don't [Eb] you _ [Db]
cry.
