[G#m] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _

_ [C#] _ _ _ _ [G#m] _ _ [F#] _
_ [C#] _ _ _ _ _ [F#m] _ _
_ [C#] _ _ _ _ _ _ [F#] _
_ [C#] _ _ [G#m] _ _ _ _ [F#]
Going [C#] down the off road
_ [G#m] Don't know, don't [F#] know where [C#] I'll be
Growing up I needed [G#m] a guide like a blind [F#] veteran's dog
Cause I was [C#] going nowhere like a child's letters to God
[G#m] The knife sword was hot, [F#] I was never so lost
[C#] That I looked for an answer in a [G#m] medicine box
I never did pop pills [F#] or cocktails
Just rocked [C#] hills kids with skills
Nails got a rasp, a cough [G#m] still
They'd have me in the back [F#] of a paddy and a [C#] lockup
Smack me, pat me, drive through a bank, mom's a [G#m] rocker
And bail me out, I'd fuck you out [C#] once again next weekend
Bail me out drunk again
And I never would forgive myself
For putting you through all that hell
[G#m] I went from high school jet [F#]-lab
To factory [C#] labourer
Slave to the profit, fuel for
[G#m] Wreckage sleeping on the floor
To being out [F#] on tour now, there's none of me
I'll finish with a bang [G#m] like a cabane's biography
[F#] Going [C#] down the hard road
Down the hard [G#m] road
Don't know, don't [F#] know where
[C#] I don't know where to go
[G#m] _ _ [F#]
Going down [C#] the hard road
Down [G#m] the hard road
Don't [F#] know where [C#] I feel
[G#m] I was born and raised like [F#] life was cheap
Only [C#] changed out of one, it was enough to
Buy a drink, [G#m] was on a path to [F#] nowhere
The higher the road, [C#] the more broken baggage we carry
The larger the load, [G#m] a school drop bag, I'm knocked [F#] out
Chased by the [C#] cops, out, got pout
Dumped by my girlfriend, and locked [G#m] out
Before you're beaten, [F#] even choked at beating
[C#] A dope MC, but never lost [G#m] hope in dreaming
We used to thrash, boost the car, silver engine and fail
[C#] If I never had bail, maybe I'd be dead or in jail
Well man, I got no one else to blame
I thank my family and music for keeping me [G#m] sane
But that's the place where I [F#] started working late nights
[C#] Never seen pay like, and paid like a slave [G#m] might
And I'd done too many [F#] years, I missed this for my missus
To have to tell my son he nearly [C#] never [G#m] existed
[F#] Going [C#] down the hard road
Down the hard [G#m] road
Don't know, [F#] _
_ [C#] _ don't know where
[G#m] _ _ [F#] _
[C#] Going down the hard road
Down the hard [G#m] road
[F#] Don't know, don't know where
[C#] I'll be trying to please the Lord to break it [G#m] down
Rock, rock, rock, rock, rock, rock
_ [C#] Rock, _ [G#m] rock, rock, rock, rock, rock
Rock, rock, rock, rock, rock, [F#] rock
[G#] And I think what I'm in the [C#] boot, in the spirit of truth
Cause all these kids that I meet, man they mirror my youth
And I [G#m] could have gone the [F#] wrong way, easy hop
[C#] Should've bought a chase and go the long way, streets hop
[G#m] So keep a [C#] look out, look out, be bullish
If you hook up with a pay, check my book out
And [G#m] pull out, just think of what you [F#] put out
And keep a look [C#] out for what we put out
The brand new flavor for you [G#m] to count
[F#] Going [C#] down the hard road
Down the hard [G#m] road
Don't know, [F#] don't know where
[C#] _ Don't know where
Going [G#m] _ [F#] _
[C#] down the hard road
Down the [G#m] hard road
Don't know, [F#] don't know where
[C#] _ _ _ [D#] _ [G#m] I'm [F#] a walking [C#] round in circles
_ _ [D#] _ [A#] Can't keep my eyes [D#] up real
_ _ [G#] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
