I am wearing old boots with high cuban heels

I've worn out my welcome in certain small circles

In Spanish bordellos and confederate states
        G+G           D MajorD
But there is an angel in leathers and kindness
  C majorC         G+G         D MajorD
Who whispers my name beyond heaven's gate

All the true believers are out on the road tonite
  C majorC              G+G        D MajorD
No matter what happens, you know they'll be okay
      E minorEm                 D MajorD
And to the rock and roll gypsies may the last song you sing
  C majorC                   D MajorD
Be by Townes Van Zandt and down in old Santa Fe

     G+G               D MajorD
Now I have a mission and a small code of honor
C majorC                D MajorD
To stand and deliver by whatever measures

And the message I give you from this old poet
       C majorC            G+G

     C majorC               D MajorD            D MajorD
He said "Our fears are like dragons guarding our precious treasures”

Chorus:
C majorC          G+G
I am not looking for loose diamonds
  C majorC         G+G           D MajorD
Or pretty girls with crosses around their necks

I don't want for roses or water, I am not looking for God
         D MajorD  G+G
I am not looking for sex
