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
