A
I still remember it was autumn and the moon was shining
A
Our 60 Cadillac was roaring through Nebraska whining
D
Doing 120 man the fields was bending over
A
Heading out for the mountains knowing we was traveling further
E
All the fires were blazing and the spinning wheels were turning turning
A
Had my girl beside me, brother, brother, she was burning burning
A
Up walked a Baptist preachin' southern funky school teacher
A
She had a line on something heavy but we couldn't reach her
D
We told her that we needed something that would get us going
A
She pulled out all she had and laid it on the counter showing
E
All I had to do was lay my money down and pick it up
A
The cops came busting in and then we lit out in a pickup truck
A
Go! Get out of Denver, baby, go, go
A D
Get out of Denver, better, go
D A
Get out of Denver, better, go, go
A E
Get out of Denver cause you look just like a commie
E
And you might just be a member
E A
Better get out of Denver
A
Better get out of Denver
D
Well, red lights were flashing and the sirens were a-screaming screaming
A
We had to pinch each other just to see if we were dreaming
D
Made it to Loveland Pass in under less than half an hour
E
Lord, it started drizzling and it turned into a thundershower

The rain was driving but the Caddy kept on burning rubber
A
We kept on driving till we ran into some fog cover
D
We couldn't see a thing but somehow we just kept on going
A
We kept on driving all night long and then into the morning fog
E
It finally lifted when we looked to see where we was at
A
We're staring at a Colorado state policeman trooper cat
