And I've run cross paths of a thousand lives
A                          E
Among the cactus and the white birch trees

Avloc ran a waterfront bar

And Michael was a rock 'n roll hood from the Odessa plains

All of them were my kind
A        G#m       B
Wild and damn near free
A            F#m            B             E    A   E
