This is far from perfect. But I wanted to get the lyrics available to the 


C G F

C                 F    C            F
I got to lookin' back; To a boyhood radio
C                    F                     C             G
Got to thinkin' bout Wolfman Jack; blastin' blues out of Mexico

And it thrilled me to the core; chilled me to the bone

Made me pack up my flatbed Ford and leave my happy home

It's been a million miles; ten thousand honky-tonks

And the famous Motel Cowboy Band playin' any damn thing they want

And we lived it fast; and we played it hard 

And we did not pay our dues my friend with our daddy's mastercard

I don't want to die in the back of Hank Williams' Cadillac

Crucified on a treble clef made of gold

Naw the music made me quiver; 

I gave it my heart my soul and my liver

Now I'm thinkin bout turnin' this rig around and headin home
INTRO CHORDS

I watched a good friend die; right behind my very eyes

and the man who took his place I could easily despise.

I confront him everyday; in a most reflective way

Just to scr*pe at the shadows of doubt; and wash all his sins away.

I don't want to die in the back of Hank Williams' Cadillac

Crucified on a treble clef made of gold

Naw the music made me shiver; 

I stood and I delivered; 

Now I'm thinkin bout turnin' this rig around and headin home

Steel guitar SOLO

I got some sound advice; ten odd years ago

I was running with Jacky Jack; near Chamin New Mexico

If you just want to be a star he said;

Fate'll beat cha like a gong; if you want to pick up that old guitar

Just do it for the sake of the song

You don't want to die in the back of Hank Williams' Cadillac

Crucified on a treble clef made of gold

Now the music makes me shiver; 

Lord knows that I'm no quitter

But I'm thinkin bout turnin' this rig around and headin home

Yeah I'm thinkin bout turnin' this rig around and headin home
