[C] _ _ [G] _ _ _ _ [C] _ _
_ _ _ [G] _ _ I'm at a snake [Em] speedway in the Utah desert
[C] I pick up my money and head back [G] into town
Drive across the Waynesboro [Em] County line
Got [C] the radio on but man I'm [G] just killing time
[Em] Working all day [G] in my daddy's garage
[E] Driving on [Am] that Jason Summer route
[C] Pretty soon little girl I'm [Dm] gonna take charge
[G] Well at the Hall of Fame Street [C] Hall
Cause I [G] understand
If I could [C] take one moment into [G] my past
Mister I ain't a [C] boy
No [G] I'm a man
And [C] I can leave in a [G] promise land
I've done my best to [Em] live the right way
[C] I get up every morning and go to work [G] each day
But your eyes go blind
[Em] Your blood runs cold
[C] Sometimes I feel so weak
I [G] want to explode, [Em]
explode
And [G] tear this whole town apart
[Em] Take a knife and [Am] cut this pain from my heart
[C] Have somebody to [D] drink with, something to start
[G] Well at the Hall of Fame Street [C] Hall
Cause I [G] understand
If I [Em] could [C] wish one moment into [G] my past
Mister I ain't a [C] boy
No [G] I'm a man
[Em] And [C] I can leave in a [G] promise land

[C] _ _ _ _ _ _ It's a dark cloud rising [Em] from the desert floor
I [C] pack my bags and I'm heading straight into [G] the storm
Gonna be a twister to blow [Em] everything down
[C] Not _ enough faith to [G] stand this ground
[Em] Blow away the dreams that tear you apart
[Em] Blow away the [G] dreams that break your heart
[Em] Blow away the lies [G] that leave you nothing
[C] But lost and [D] broken _ [G] hearted
Well at the Hall of Fame Street [C] Hall
Cause I [G] understand
If [Em] I could [C] take one moment into [G] my past
Mister I ain't a [C] boy
No [G] I'm a man
[Em] And [C] I can leave in a [G] promise land
And I can [C] leave in _ [G] _ _ _ [Em]
[C] a _ promise [G] land _ _ _
