     C           F 
The boys that I run with
      C          F
Went down to the Firebird
     C                 Am
They played for three hours
           F                    
And they paid for their beer
          C            F
And they rastled their devils
          C            	     F
For their good friends and neighbors 
     C              Am
They moved them to dance 
     G           C
And sometimes to tears

They sang songs about highways
About strippers and killers
About fingers on Saturn 
And lamplight on a vase
They sang songs about love 
And songs about Texas (or barbwire)
And some people said 
There were ghosts in the place


CHORUS:
G     
Shout hallelujah 
    F          C
And sing jambalaya
Am
Shoot for the moon
         F              G
You wind up amongst the stars
    F            C
Someday we'll be able 
   F          C
To get a good table
    F            C
And drive around town 
   G         C
In big shiny cars


F  C  F


Well it's no bed of roses
When all a man know is 
Three chords and a dust cloud
To find himself now 
Amongst these high powered brokers
And their lizard skin loafers
And dangerous habits    
They just can't put down


CHORUS

           F            C    (acapella)
Yeah we'll drive around town 
In big shiny cars
