Dm7 C7 Dm7 C7
Licorice tattoo turned a gun metal blue,
Dm7 C7 Fm7 Eb G# C7
Scrawled across the shoulders of a dying town.
Dm7 C7 Dm7 C7
Took the one eyed Jacks across the railroad tracks,
Dm7 C7 Fm7 Eb G# C7
And the scar on its belly pulled a stranger passing through.
Dm7 C7 Dm7 C7
He's a juvenile delinquent, never learned how to behave,
Bbm7 C7 Dm7
But the cops'd never think to look in Burma-Shave.
Bbm7 C7 Dm7 C7
And the road was like a ribbon, and the moon was like a bone,
Dm7 C7 Fm7 Eb G# C7
He didn't seem to be like any guy she'd ever known.
Dm7 C7 Dm7 C7
He kinda looked like Farley Granger, with his hair slicked back,
Dm7 C7 Fm7 Eb G# C7
She says I'm a sucker for a fella in a cowboy hat.
Dm7 C7
How far are you going?
Dm7 Bbm7 C7
He said depends on what you mean?
Bbm7 C7
He says I'm only stoppin' here to get some gasoline.
Dm7 C7 Dm7 C7
I guess I'm going thataway just as long as it's paved,
Bbm7 C7 Dm7
And I guess you'd say I'm on my way to Burma-Shave
Bbm7 C7
And with her knees up on the glove compartment,
Dm7 C7
Took out her barrettes,
Dm7 C7 Fm7
And her hair spilled out like root beer,
G# C7
And she popped her gum and arched her back.
Dm7 C7 Dm7 C7
Hell Marysville ain't nothing but a wide spot in the road,
Bbm7
Some night my heart pounds just like thunder I don't know
C7
Why it don't explode.
Dm7 C7
Cause everyone in this stinking town,
Dm7 C7
Has got one foot in the grave,
Bbm7
And I'd rather take my chances,
C7 Dm7
Out in Burma-Shave.
Dm7 C7 Dm7 C7
Presley's what I go by, why don't you change the station
Dm7 C Fm7 G# C7
Count the grain elevators in the rearview mirror
Dm7 C7
Mister anywhere you point this thing,
Dm7 C7
Has got to beat the hell out of the sting
Dm7 C# C7 Dm7 C7
Of going to bed with every dream that dies here every mornin,
Bbm7 C7
And so drill me a hole,
Dm7
With a barber pole.
Bbm7 C7 Dm7 C7
I'm jumping my parole just like a fugitive tonight,
Bbm7 C7
Why don't you have another swig,
Dm7 C7
and pass that car if you're so brave?
Bbm7
I wanna get there before the sun comes up in
C7 Dm7
Burma-Shave.
Dm7 C Fm7 Eb G# C7
And the spider web crack and the mustang screamed
Dm7 C Fm7 Eb G# C7
Smoke from the tires and the twisted machine
Dm7 C7 Dm7 C7
Just a nickel's worth of dreams and every wishbone that they saved
Bbm7
Lie swindled from them on the way to
C7 Dm7
Burma shave
Bbm7 C7 Dm7 C7
And the sun hit the derrick and cast a bat wing shadow
Bbm7 C7 Dm7 C7
Up against the car door on the shotgun side
Bbm7 C7
And when they pulled her from the wreck you know she
Dm7 C7
Still had on her shades
Bbm7
They say that dreams are growing wild just this side of
C7 Dm7
Burma Shave
