His countryside's burnin' with wolfman fairies dressed in drag for homicide
     C (x32010@1)                  D (xx0232@1)               G (320003@1)              BmThe (x24432@1)hit and run, plead sanctuary, `neath a holy stone they hide

He rides `er low on the hip, on the side he's got Bound For Glory in red, 
                        BmWhite (x24432@1)and blue flash paint
      C (x32010@1)                       D (xx0232@1)                C (x32010@1)            Bm (x24432@1)                 
He leans on the hood telling racing stories, the kids call him Jimmy The 
    EmSaint (022000@1)         Em (022000@1)                       G (320003@1)         Am (x02210@1)                    
Well the blaze and noise boy, he's gunnin' that bitch loaded to blastin' 
    Empoint (022000@1)                           G (320003@1)              Am (x02210@1)               Em (022000@1)He rides head first into a hurricane and disappears into a point
            D (xx0232@1)                                    D/CAnd (x30232@1)there's nothin' left but some blood where the body fell
         Em (022000@1)                        BmThat (x24432@1)is, nothin' left that you could sell
     
C (x32010@1)                 D (xx0232@1)             C (x32010@1)     Bm (x24432@1)      EmJust (022000@1)junk all across the horizon, a real highwayman's farewell
             C (x32010@1)           D (xx0232@1)         Em (022000@1)      C (x32010@1)        D (xx0232@1)                
And he said "Hey kid, you think that's oil? Man, that ain't oil that's 
Emblood" (022000@1)
  C (x32010@1)                 D (xx0232@1)             Em (022000@1)  
I wonder what he was thinking when he hit that storm
    C (x32010@1)         D (xx0232@1)        EmOr (022000@1)was he just lost in the flood?
