There were Arizona troopers trailin' close behind.
D                     D2               G
We knew they couldn't touch us once we crossed the state line.
A                     A2     A               
So we pulled over and showed 'em a Tennessee moon

From the California side.

L.A. was a nightmare Vegas was a dream.

Dan had won more money than we had ever seen.

Didn't take us one day to blow the whole lot.

Bridge:
Bm                            A
We thought we were invincible couldn't nothin' bring us down.
Bm                              A                      G
But it didn't take long for the real world to knock us flat on the ground.
Bm                              A
And I hope we were forgiven for all the crazy things we did.

After all we were just kids.
