A                       D
I was never one to compromise 
E                       A
Couldn’t fit in at school
A                       D
Gonzo by the 7th grade
E                       A
I played em all the fool 
E               D/F#    
Well I couldn’t find shoes my size 
A               D
Had to walk ten miles
A               D               
There’s blisters on the backs of my soles
E               A
And an illegal smile


E                               D/F#
We’re burning down Las Vegas town 
A                       D
Had to sleep by noon
A               D 
Drank my money on a red roulette
E                       A
That’s a ride you can’t refuse
E               D/F#
Five hours down with a sunrise frown 
A               D
Lightning in your shoes
A               D
It’s one foot in the ether 
E               A
With the A  County blues

A                       D
They got me on accessory 
E               A
Thirty days in jail 
A                       D
One headlight in a Luisville night
E                       A
Without a chance of bail 
E                       D/F#
Well I’ll be home at derby time
A                       D
So please save me a seat 
A                       D
Mint juleps on the outfield grass
E                       A
The old south tastes so sweet 


E                               D/F#

Well you can call Mister Raoul Duke
E                       A
I’ll know what you mean 
A                       D
Blinded by a quart of rum 
E                       A
And a dose of mescaline 
E                       D/F#
Mint 400 couldn’t slow me down 
A                       D
I kinda like the speed
A                       D
With the failure of our generation 
E                       A
For a couple bags of weed
