I was never one to compromise
E A
Couldn’t fit in at school
A D
Gonzo by the 7th grade
E A
I played em all the fool
E D/F#
Well I couldn’t find shoes my size
A D
Had to walk ten miles
A D
There’s blisters on the backs of my soles
E A
And an illegal smile
E D/F#
We’re burning down Las Vegas town
A D
Had to sleep by noon
A D
Drank my money on a red roulette
E A
That’s a ride you can’t refuse
E D/F#
Five hours down with a sunrise frown
A D
Lightning in your shoes
A D
It’s one foot in the ether
E A
With the LA County blues
Fill x2
A D
They got me on accessory
E A
Thirty days in jail
A D
One headlight in a Luisville night
E A
Without a chance of bail
E D/F#
Well I’ll be home at derby time
A D
So please save me a seat
A D
Mint juleps on the outfield grass
E A
The old south tastes so sweet
E D/F#
We’re burning down Las Vegas town
A D
Had to sleep by noon
A D
Drank my money on a red roulette
E A
That’s a ride you can’t refuse
E D/F#
Five hours down with a sunrise frown
A D
Lightning in your shoes
A D
It’s one foot in the ether
E A
With the LA County blues

Well you can call Mister Raoul Duke
E A
I’ll know what you mean
A D
Blinded by a quart of rum
E A
And a dose of mescaline
E D/F#
Mint 400 couldn’t slow me down
A D
I kinda like the speed
A D
With the failure of our generation
E A
For a couple bags of weed
