Capo 2
D G
Does anyone know of a girl who might like
A D
A tired old boy on a rusty old bike
D G
Who just pulled in today from the Florida Glades
A D G A
And just got to stop and rest awhile and rest awhile
Does anyone know of someone who can use
A hard working fool who don't ever touch booze
Who's only vice is a roll of a dice
And he's just got to stop and rest awhile and rest awhile
Chorus:
G D
Easy there lady I don't want no trouble
A D
I'll pay for my chili and leave
G D
Easy there mister I got the money
E7 A
and if I was you I'd let go of my sleeve
Does anyone know of a place I can sleep
Where I won't hear the cry of the wind as she weeps
For a poor wandering soul who got no place to go
And just got to stop and rest awhile and rest awhile
Chorus 2:
No fellers, you can't have a ride
Cause my bike and my girls I don't share
Hey sheriff thank you for stoppin'
And being concerned bout the length of my hair
Can anyone lend me a half tank of gas
And I guess that a smile would be too much to ask
Cause your warm friendly town don't want my kind around
And I guess I can't stop and rest awhile and rest awhile
Chorus 3:
Hello mama your boys comin' home
Cause my bike and my dreams all got wrecked
No, mama don't hang up the phone
I'm sorry that I had to call you collect
Can anyone lend me a half tank of gas
I guess that a smile would be too much to ask
Your warm friendly town don't want my kind around
I guess I can't stop and rest awhile and rest awhile
