[Verse 1]
N.C.
I’m an 18-wheeler with the throttle pinned down and a brake line cut just a-screamin’ through your town
C G
Well I’m a runaway freight train with no way left to stop
G
Well I’m a nightmare that comes with your California dreamin’
With your bloodshot eyes thinkin’ nothing’s what it’s seemin’
C G
I’m a Bradbury story, spitting like a fire from Hell
D G
No I never met a lesson I didn’t learn well
[Chorus]
C G
I get wound up and found up in places you’ll never see
D G
I was born to be a God fearin’, song singin’, good timin’, son of a son of an SOB
C G
I never set out to hurt anybody, you see
D G
I just set out to chase that song that’s chasing me
[Verse 2]
G
Well I’m a late night thunder tryin’ to raise the dead
Well I’m a pound and the haze of your whiskey trippin’ head
C G
Well I’m the cough in your first smoke, go on and load that gun
G
I’m a 13 squared, I’m a 13 twice, just a black cat walkin’ on thin black ice
C G
I’m a Jinks, Lord, I can’t help it I was born half bad
D G
Sometimes I can’t remember they’re the best I’ve had
[Chorus]
C G
I get wound up and found up in places you’ll never see
D G
I was born to be a God fearin’, song singin’, good timin’, son of a son of an SOB
C G
I never set out to hurt anybody, you see
D G
I just set out to chase that song that’s chasing me
[Instrumental]
C G D G C G D G
[Chorus]
C G
Yeah, I get wound up and found up in places you’ll never see
D G
I was born to be a God fearin’, song singin’, good timin’, son of a son of an SOB
C G
I never set out to hurt anybody, you see
D G
I just set out to chase that song that’s chasing me
[Instrumental]
C G D G C G D G
[Outro]
D C
I set out to chase that song
D C
Out to chase that song
D
I set out to chase that song
G
That’s chasin’ me
