D  Bm  D  Bm

  D                                Bm
Tonight we're fighting in a losing war
      D                                 Bm
Don't even remember what we're fighting for
G                       D
Running on hope and gasoline
      D                                  Bm
Got a real bad feeling, it's a pipe bomb dream


Chorus 1:
       G
Well I did a little something for the brave and free
        D
Now you gonna make a law against a boy like me
G                                     D                  A 
Took a few too many liberties, it's a hard ass lesson to learn
D                           G         D                                    Bm  
Roll the dice just one more turn, too heavy on the pedal and you crash and burn


Driving all night with a steady hand
Bringing a heavy rig home from the promised land
Oklahoma City by the morning sun
I ain't never met a problem that I can't outrun

Chorus

Instrumental

Well, I was riding high when the lights came on
I was 45 miles from the county line
Hit a jackpot once, went back for more
From an old pipe dream to a cell block floor

Chorus 2:
Say it's alright but you know it's not
And you're breaking up laws and you wind up caught
It's everything or all for naught, it's a hard ass lesson to learn
Roll the dice just one more time, too heavy on the pedal and you crash and burn

Too heavy on the pedal and you crash and burn
