Standard (EADGBE)

I was never one to compromise

Couldn’t fit in at school

Gonzo by the 7th grade

I played em all the fool

Well I couldn’t find shoes my size

Had to walk ten miles

There’s blisters on the backs of my soles

And an illegal smile

We’re burning down Las Vegas town

Had to sleep by noon

Drank my money on a red roulette

That’s a ride you can’t refuse

Five hours down with a sunrise frown

Lightning in your shoes

It’s one foot in the ether

With the LA County blues

Fill x2

They got me on accessory

Thirty days in jail

One headlight in a Luisville night

Without a chance of bail

Well I’ll be home at derby time

So please save me a seat

Mint juleps on the outfield grass

The old south tastes so sweet

We’re burning down Las Vegas town

Had to sleep by noon

Drank my money on a red roulette

That’s a ride you can’t refuse

Five hours down with a sunrise frown

Lightning in your shoes

It’s one foot in the ether

With the LA County blues

Fill x 2

Well you can call Mister Raoul Duke

I’ll know what you mean

Blinded by a quart of rum

And a dose of mescaline

Mint 400 couldn’t slow me down

I kinda like the speed

With the failure of our generation

For a couple bags of weed

We’re burning down Las Vegas town

Had to sleep by noon

Drank my money on a red roulette

That’s a ride you can’t refuse

Five hours down with a sunrise frown

Lightning in your shoes

It’s one foot in the ether

With the LA County blues

It’s one foot in the ether

With the LA

With the LA County blues

Fill x 2
