Biography:
Jonny "Corndawg" Fritz (known now as Jonny Fritz) is a country singer, not a singer-songwriter. Born in Montana, raised in rural Virginia, Fritz has been touring on his motorcycle since he dropped out of school in 2001. He's played shows in every U.S. state, Canada and eleven European countries, Australia, Argentina and India. But you won't find him on CMT. His music is more in the vein of that obscure '70s gay country that housewives would discover on a Bear Family reissue in twenty years.

Intro
F Gm C C7 F
F
Don't stare straight into the sun
Gm
'cause a blind man cannot run
C C7
Oh how I might have to lose my sight
F
just to gain it back again
F
Don't drive a car when it's lightning
Gm
some folks find that it's frightening
C C7
but that's why cars got rubber tires
F
and a driver's side airbag
[chorus]
Bb C F
I believe that a fool has got more sense than the wisest sages
Bb C F
Because a fool does just what he's cut out for and never gets in no cages
Bb C F D9
My life story got wrote by the good lord and I'm just turning the pages
G C F
Striking out for a home where the road becoms the sky
F
Even if I became a reverend
Gm
I still wouldn't get to go to heaven
C C7
I can tell that I'm a-headed for hell
F
for all the things I've done
F
But it ain't nothing nice, oh
Gm
When I get an appetite
C C7
My methamphetamines, high horsepower engines
F
and walking on top of the ocean
[chorus]
F
Sell my three piece suit, ooh
Gm
Let me lose my roots
C C7
give me time to make up my mind
F
so that I can see
F
Not to stare straight into the sun
Gm
for a blind man cannot run
C C7
but it ain't nothing to lose your sight
C
if you've got your liberty
[chorus]
