Robert Earl Keen - Blow you away

[Intro] A D[add9] A D[add9] A D[add9] E You take off from work a bit early, A D[add9] E The boss doesn't care if you stay. A D[add9] E A The guard with the key has to check your ID, D[add9] E A But he'd just as soon blow you away. A D[add9] E The cops have stopped ten miles of traffic, A D[add9] E They're sorry for all the delay. A D[add9] E A No need for alarm as they're waving their arms, D[add9] E A But they'd just as soon blow you away. A D[add9] E Two pretty blondes in a Porsche, A D[add9] E Their bumper says 'We Love L.A.' A D[add9] E A They look pretty fair but they're crazy out there, D[add9] E A They'd just as soon blow you away. A D[add9] E You got in some trouble in high school, A D[add9] E But you feel like a new man today. A D[add9] E A You keep to yourself because anyone else. D[add9] E A Would just as soon blow you away. [Instrumental] A D[add9] A D[add9] E A D[add9] E A D[add9] E A D[add9] E A A D[add9] E You're standin' in front of the teller, A D[add9] E She's countin' out all of your pay. A D[add9] E A There's twenties and ones and there's guards with their guns, D[add9] E A And they'd just as soon blow you away. A D[add9] E And one old ex-con at the station, A D[add9] E Fixes flats in the back of the bay. A D[add9] E A He winks and he jokes and he borrows a smoke, D[add9] E A But he'd just as soon blow you away. A D[add9] E You like the new girl at the hotel, A D[add9] E She drops your room key in the tray. A D[add9] E A No words will pass through the bullet-proof glass, D[add9] E A 'Cause she'd just as soon blow you away. [Instrumental] A D[add9] A D[add9] E A D[add9] E A D[add9] E A D[add9] E A A D[add9] E You climb up the stairs every evening, A D[add9] E To your room right above the cafe. A D[add9] E A There ain't much mystique but you pay every week, D[add9] E A Cause they'd just as soon blow you away. A D[add9] E And you turn out the light that you read by, A D[add9] E You pray that you're one of the few. A D[add9] E A When you're in with the Lord there's just one reward, D[add9] E A And they'd just as soon make it come true. [Instrumental] A D[add9] A D[add9] E A D[add9] E A D[add9] E A D[add9] E A A D[add9] E The mattress is mildewed and lumpy, A D[add9] E But you fall fast asleep where you lay. A D[add9] E A Under the lump there's a twenty gauge pump, D[add9] E A Cause they'd just as soon blow you away.
