capo #2

C C C C

C
everybody’s looking for some way in ,
F C
i’m looking for some way out .

i’ve been wasting my time , standing in line ,
G C
if this is what it’s all about .

C
all i got is a job that i don’t like ,
F C
and a woman that don’t understand .

so tonight at the bar , i’ll get in my car ,
G C
and take off for the promised land .

* chorus *

F C Cmaj7 C
drinkin’ and dreamin’ , knowing damn well i can’t go ,
G C Cmaj7 C
i’ll never see texas , l . A . or ol’ mexico .
F C Cmaj7 C
but here at this table , i’m able to leave it behind .
G C Cmaj7 C
drink till i’m dreamin’ , a thousand miles out of my mind .

* break *
G G C C

C
this suit and this tie , is just a disguise ,
F C
this ain’t really me .

some people are born to be tied down ,
G C
some people are born to be free .

C
when i look down the road , she don’t know ,
F C
how it gets under my skin .

she’s got my body , but my heart and soul ,
G C
are out there riding the wind .

* chorus *

F C Cmaj7 C
drinkin’ and dreamin’ , knowing damn well i can’t go ,
G C Cmaj7 C
i’ll never see texas , l . A . or ol’ mexico .

but here at this table , i’m able to leave it behind .
G C Cmaj7 C
drink till i’m dreamin’ , a thousand miles out of my mind .
