G5  C5  G5  C5  A5  E5  F5  C5  twice 
 
G5                    C5 
Three o'clock in the morning 
        G5                     C5 
And I'm driving drunk through town 
A5         E5               F5              C5   
Part of me really wants the law to bring me down 
 
I got your picture on my rearview mirror  

I ain't lookin' at the road 

I got a half a tank of gasoline that's ready to explode 
 
I saw blue lights flashin' behind me  

So I pulled off to the side 

The woman walked up to my door, she said, "Boy, you could of died." 
 
I said, "Thank ya, sir. I mean ma'am. Whatever,  

I was trying not to blink. 

But why don't we go round the corner round the corner and have a drink?" 
     G5     D5             E5 
Last week, workin' on my carburetor 
    C5                   G5                   E5    C5  
You looked so good with oil smudged on your face 
        G5   D5                      E5 
You and me, sittin' there with our big bones achin' 
   C5                        G5                        E5    C5 
We turned the key and we're riding through the marketplace  
Owned a joint in Missoula, back in 1982 
We had drinks on hand and Kamikaze Man 
We could really move ?em through 
 
We were havin' a good 'ol time  
Sittin' back and livin' free 
Then one night some jack put a gun in my back, I said, "Man, this ain't for me." 
 
So I blew outta town that night  
With eight dollars and some change 
Hitch-hiked to Dallas in a pickup truck cause I couldn't pay my way 
 
The nights were cold as summer breezes 
And the days were hot as Hell 
But I found some guys who would sit and listen to the bad stories I tell 
 
Chorus 
 
Harmonica 
 
You see me 
I'm just a name 
Or a number that wants to be something that it ain't  
 
I'm just a guy 
That don't know where he belongs 
Maybe I should do something besides writin' drinkin' songs
