I've been standing here,

Waiting for the bus on a Saturday.

Laundry on my back, ultraviolet rays.
C# B
Like I'm posing for a shot in a magazine,
A#7
What the hell does it mean?
D#m C#
I'm a traveling man straight from the can,
B A#7
I'm a thousand miles away from my number one fan.
D#m C#
My folks are getting tight won't let me out at night,
B
You can't avoid the complications,
A#7 G#m C#
When there's no reason at all.
F# D#m
When the lightning stikes we'll fry.
B G#m
I'll drink my beer I'll wipe my tears,

Southbound in the sky.

I've been sitting here watching the signs,

The people look like bees buzzing by the highway.

Now I'm lying here,
