Bobby Goldsboro - The straight life

^CSome^Dtimes I imagine my^D7self as a drifter, ^F#seeker of ^Bmfortunes, connois^Eseur of great ^Awines. ^GDashing through ^Emmeadows of ^Dyellow and green, ^Gtrying to ^Emcatch the im^Dpossible dream, ^Cleaving the straight life ^Abe..^A7hind.

^DSometimes my thoughts may ^D7find me in Mexico, ^F#drinking te^Bmquila, going ^Eout of my ^Amind. ^GHaving a ^Emball on a ^Dcouple of bob, ^Gtreating the ^Emladies to ^Dcorn on the cob, ^Cleaving the straight life ^Abe..^A7hind.

^GSuddenly all my silly ^F#mthoughts disappear, she ^Emcomes to me ^Asoftly with ^Dcrackers and beer, ^Cwinking and blinking and ^Gblowin' in my ear, ^Drunning a^Cway with my ^Ami..^A7nd. ^GIt's great to ^Abe in love, I'm ^Emnot really ^Dthinking of, ^Cleaving the straight life ^Fbe..^Ahind, I'm just ^Dplaying a ^Agame in my ^Dmind.

^DDo n' ^Cdo do do ^Ddo do ^Cdo do do do....^Ddo n' ^Cdo do do ^Ddo do ^Cdo do do do. #3. ^DOnce in a while in my ^D7mind I go bummin’, ^F#going to no^Bmwhere, with no ^Eworry of ^Atime. ^GRunning a^Emlong chasing ^Dafter a train, ^Ghumming a ^Emsong in the ^Dsun and the rain, ^Cleaving the straight life ^Abe...^A7hind.

^DI can just see me on a ^D7tropical island, ^F#riding the ^Bmsurf and drinking ^Ecoconut ^Awine. ^GHaving me ^Emfun with golden ^Dgirls in the sand, ^Gchasing the ^Emsun through an ^Dinnocent land, ^Cleaving the straight life ^Abe..^A7hind.

^GSuddenly all my silly ^F#mthoughts disappear, she ^Emcomes to me ^Asoftly with ^Dcrackers and beer, ^Cwinking and blinking and ^Gblowin' in my ear, ^Drunning a^Cway with my ^Ami..^A7nd. ^GIt's great to ^Abe in love, I'm ^Emnot really ^Dthinking of, ^Cleaving the straight life ^Fbe..^Ahind, I'm just ^Dplaying a ^Agame in my ^Dmind.

^DDo n' ^Cdo do do ^Ddo do ^Cdo do do do....^Ddo n' ^Cdo do do ^Ddo do ^Cdo do do do. ^Dba ba ^Cba ba ba ^Dba ba ^Cba ba ba ba....^Dba ba ^Cba ba ba ^Dba ba ^Cba ba ba ba.(Fade.)
