[Bb] [F]
[Dm] [F]
On a rattlesnake speedway in the [Am] Utah desert,
[F] I pick up my money and I head back into town.
Driving across the [C] Waynesburg County line,
I got [F] the radio on and I'm just killing time.
[Dm] Parking all [F] day in my daddy's garage,
[Dm] driving all night [Gm] chasing some little rush.
[Bb] Well, pretty soon, darling, [G] I'm gonna take charge.
Do it with me, Robert, right there.
[F] Well, the dogs on Main Street howl because they understand.
That's right.
If [Dm] I could take one moment into [F] my hands.
Mister, I ain't a boy, [Bb] no, [F] I'm a man.
[Am] And I believe [F] in a promise.
[G]
[F]
Well, I've done my best [Dm] now to live the right [F] way.
I get up every morning and go to work each day.
Let your eyes go blind in here, blood [Dm] runs cold.
Sometimes I feel so weak.
I just want to explode, explode, and tear this whole town apart.
Take a knife and cut [Gm] this pain from my heart.
[Bb] If I had somebody [G] itching for something to start.
[F] Well, the dogs on Main Street howl because they understand.
If I could [Am] take this [F] moment into my hands.
Mister, I ain't a boy, [Bb] no, [F] I'm a man.
[Am] Yeah, and I [F] believe in a promise.
[G] [C]
[F] Well, there's a dark cloud rising from [D] the desert floor.
Pack [Bb] my bags and I'm headed straight into the [C] storm.
[F] There's gonna be a twister to blow everything [Dm] down.
[F] That ain't got the faith to stand its ground.
Blow [Dm] away the [F] dreams that tear you apart.
[C] Blow [D] away the dreams that [Gm] break you apart.
Blow [C] away the [Gm] lies that leave you nothing [Bb] but lost and [C] broken.
[F] Well, the dogs on Main Street howl because they understand.
If I could [Am] take one moment [F] into [Am] my hands.
Mister, [F] I ain't a boy, [Bb] no, [C] I'm a man.
[Dm] And I believe in [Bb] a promised land.
[Dm] And I believe [F] in a promised land.
And I believe in a promised land.
