Verse 1:

	The wheels of my old car
	Are turnin'   burnin'

	To see things my way

	Bb                   Am

	I'll show her I can leave her behind
	G7                  C                   Bb/C
	I'm gettin' out of town (gettin' out of town)
	              C                 Bb/C
	I won't back down (I won't back down)
	              C
	I won't back down (I won't back down)

Chorus:

	          F   Eb           F

	Gonna keep these wheels of mine
	 Eb        F
	Coverin' ground

Verse 2 [w/intro riff]:

	Last night I caught that girl
	Lyin'   tryin'
	To deceive me
	And now all of these tears
	She's cryin'   I'm not buyin'
	You better believe me

	She swore that she was mine alone
	Our love would never die
	I'm leavin' now for parts unknown
	I saw her with that guy (saw her with that guy)
	That's the reason why (that's the reason why)
	I'll be passin' by (I'll be passin' by)

[repeat chorus]

	The last    chance to turn around
