Hear the dial on the telephone

Guess I gotta lay down my pride

Been blowing more smoke than a midnight train

Roll it up, burn it straight to my brain

 D                                                 Am7 
Running in the night from the howl of the devil's hound 
        D                                           Am7 
Took a left at the crossroads and ran into a party crowd 
 D                                        Am7 
Searching for a high that'll never let me come down
