D,G(x3)
D

          D           G
I've been driving all night
        D             G
Bathing in florescent light
     D             G       Am
Of a western Tennessee gas station
       D               G
With a pack of two-way action
       D            G
I'm subsisting on a fraction
      D            G       Am
And I close my eyes and pretend
       C G
I'm on vacation
                     D
But the light bleeds through
             A
And it's all green-blue

There goes my imagination


D,G(x3)


   D                    G
My return fills me with dread
        D                    G
Will my house plants be all dead
     D             G    Am
My significant be with another
       D           G
I say OK where was I
      D               G
But I can't repress a sigh
      D            G
And I think I'm gonna
       Am                      C      G
Yeah I think I'm gonna call my mother
                D
Let the subject wander
             A
To issues of blonde hair

Or something or other


D,G(x2)
D

           C
Like a bad haircut
                   D
Or a glass of cold water
            C
Some of the things
                        D
You wouldn't ordinarily thought a
            C                  D
Will all be lost if you let it in
           C                  D
Maybe I'll never ever feel it again

          D           G
I've been driving all night
        D             G
Bathing in florescent light
     D             G       Am
Of a western Tennessee gas station
       D               G
With a pack of two-way action
       D            G
I'm subsisting on a fraction
        D            G
Of what used to be a sugar-free
Am                    C     G
Half-melted bag of Tastations
                D
That hard candy sensation
                  A
It's sweeping the nation
       D              G
And it puts my mind in traction
       D           G
I'm subsisting on a fraction
      D            G       Am
And I close my eyes and pretend
       C    G
I'm on vacation
                         D
But while it melts in my mouth
                  A
I'm still driving south

In a TV Nation


D,G(x2)
D


           C
Like a bad haircut
                   D
Or a glass of cold water
            C                          D
Shouldn't I say what I really shouldn't oughta
                 C
You spend half a day in
              D
Some of these places
                      C
Like a flash of white light
                       D
That's in front of our faces
               C                      D
A state of peristalsis or a parastatic stasis
                     C
And we're off to the races
   D                        C
Oh yeah and we're off to the races
   D                        C
Oh yeah and we're off to the races
D                     C
