key of G
G
Hitched a ride out at the truck stop
C G
Heading north just pressing my luck
D
Fame and fortune was guaranteed for all
C
Too high when I rolled around
G
Wound up with the hookers downtown
D G
Money’s gone it’s a hundred miles to Rome
C
Well she said her name was Jezabel
G
Welcome smile so thinly veiled
D
Turning tricks downtown for lucky charms
C
She said he never beat her
G
But I could see him lead her
D G
Straight to hell and into Satan’s arms
Break for Mandolin solo
G
Met my savior at the bus stop
C G
He said his name was Jesus
D
Red bandana tied around his arm
C
He offered me a cigarette
G
Then he got up and walked off
D G
Just as that 8:10 AM came along
C
Well I thought I was the queen
G
In that city of the angels
D
Woke up with a needle and all her charms
C
I stood up and shook the rust off
G
I tried but couldn’t sleep it off
D G
I pray to Jesus tattooed on my arm
Break for Guitar solo
G
As I looked down the boulevard
C G
The bright lights turned to sunrise
D
I paid the fare and started my ride home
C
Back down south to Tejas
G
Seems I missed the payoff
D G
And my blue eyed love that I left all alone
C
Well I thought I was the king
G
in that city of the Angels
D
I stepped out to meet my chaos of my throne
C
Stacked up with my ego
G
Shot down by the peoples’ veto
D G
I pray to Jesus tatooed on my arm
Banjo break
D G
I pray to Jesus tattooed on my arm
