1.Verse: I´m travlin´ down the road, 
             G5            A5
         i´m flirtin´ with disaster
         A5
         i´ve got the pedal to the floor
            G5              A5
         my life is running faster
         A5
         i´m out of money, i´m out of hope
            G5              A5
         it looks like self destruction
         A5
         well how much more can we take
              G5             A5
         with all of this corruption

         i´m travlin down that lonesome road
