                         C                                  D

    There's a speed zone ahead, but alright,

                  G                                                                           D

    I could have a lotta women, but I'm not alike some other guys.

                 C                                   D

    I could find me one to hold me tight,

                        G                                   C

    Well, my home town's coming in sight,

                        G                               C
