Red hair tied up in a blue bandanna; she was hotter than the devil's Hell

She turned me on to Back Porch Pickers, Jackson Pollock, and gin

Mad at the sun for coming up again
D                D
I lost religion, found my soul in the blues
Csus2                    G5
Rubbed the velvet off my blue suede shoes

So I went with it like a colt on my Plymouth
           G5                    Csus2
Through the glass behind my rear-view
Gmaj                Csus2                  Gmaj     Csus2
Took a left when the world went right down 16th Avenue
G5                    Csus2
Played with fire and I played on ledges
G5                              Csus2
Every circus, stage, and county fair
G5                         Csus2                G5               Csus2
I tried to file my points, sand my edges, and I just grew out my hair

They're standing in line, chasing the buzz
        Csus2                       G5
Til the next big things and already was
D                          D
And hell if they know what they're trying to find
      Csus2                          G5
If it ain't that same old, been-done kind
Gmaj                            Csus2
Yeah, gives the head-scratchers fits
Gmaj                           Csus2
Wondering how in the hell they missed
G5           Csus2
Mr. Misunderstood
