Ain't got no place to go.

Now I ain't got one minute,
           A              D  A
Just gotta sit on my back,
       A               D  A 
I left home in a hurry,

And I'm looking for a lover,
         A                  D  A
Looking, looking everywhere.

Maybe I'm in with a chance?

I hear clickety clack.

It's a girl my lord,

Well it's part of the stars.
            A              D  A
I hear that cassette music,
     A                D  A
On a thousand guitars.

         A                     D  A
Hey, the boys are on the prowl,
        A                 D  A
They're checking out meat.
            A                D  A
They know a bird in the hand,
         A                 D  A
Is worth two on the street.
