I got a way with the girls on my block
Em Am
Tryin' my best be a real individual
Em G G7
And when we go down to Smokies and rock
C Eb D7 (8x)
They line up like it's some kinda ritual
Chorus:
Em Am
Ooh give me a good guitar
Em Am
and you can say that my hair's a disgrace
Em G
or just buy me an open car
G7 C Eb D7
I'll make the speed of light out of this place
Em Am

But most of the best things ain't free
Em G
This same situation just cuts like a knife

When you 're young and you're poor and you're crazy

Ooh give me a good guitar

and you can say that my hair's a disgrace

I'll make the speed of light out of this place
