Capo II (Michael plays this in Open G tuning, but this tab is for standard tuning)

Intro
   
G                  C          G               C
The old man's been drinkin',  and mama's been drivin'
G                            D
Herself home alone, more and more
G                   C        G                        C
Baby tuggin' at her breast,  and that old devil won't take no rest
G           D                     G
The Goddamn neighbors are keepin' score



It's mama's birthday,   oh but the bills ain't paid
We'll sit alone in the dark
Make a pallet by the screen door dear,  try and let some cool wind in here
And listen to the highway rolling fast

Chorus

      C                 G
I'll dream of a getaway car
D
One with no brakes or plates,  dark and swift without a trace
      C                  G
I'll drive it oh so far away
D                         C                             G
Straight into the night,  bury it all in the glow of my taillights


The town punk's at the edge of town,
the w***es call his name when he comes around
Three sheets to the wind,  like a millionaire
Crawls home on his hands and knees,  to three hungry mouths to feed
Their bellies as empty as the fridgidaire

Chorus
