GWell (320003@1)there's a young man, in a tee-shirt,

listening to a rockin' rollin' station

He's got greasy hair, and a greasy smile he says,
 F (133211@1)            C (x32010@1)        G"Lord (320003@1)this must be my destination"

Cause they told me, when I was younger,

"Boy you're gonna be President"
              F (133211@1)                             CBut (x32010@1)just like everything else those old crazy dreams,
                    Gjust (320003@1)kinda came and went
