INTRO: (Harmonica) G C G Em C G
On a
G
rattlesnake speedway in the
Em
Utah desert
I
C
pick up my money and head back into
G
town
Driving cross the Waynesboro cou
Em
nty line
I got the
C
radio on and I'm just killing
G
time
Em
Working all day in my
G
daddy's garage
Em
Driving all night chasing
Am
some mirage
C
Pretty soon little girl I'm go
D7
nna take charge
Chorus
The
G
dogs on Main Street howl `cause they
C
under
G
stand
If I could
Em
take one
C
moment into my
G
hands
Mister I ain't a boy, no
C
I'm a
G
man
And
Em
I be
C
lieve in a promised
G
land
I've done my best to live the right way
I get up every morning and go to work each day
But your eyes go blind and your blood runs cold
Sometimes I feel so weak I just want to explode
Explode and tear this town apart
Take a knife and cut this pain from my heart
Find somebody itching for something to start
The dogs on Main Street...
There's a dark cloud rising from the desert floor
I packed my bags and I'm heading straight into the storm
Gonna be a twister to blow everything down
That ain't got the faith to stand its ground
Blow away the dreams that tear you apart
Blow away the dreams that break your heart
Blow away the lies that leave you nothing but lost and brokenhearted
The dogs on Main Street...
...Promised
G
Land, and
Em
I be
C
lieve in the Promised
G
Land, and
Em
I be
C
lieve
in the Promised
G
Land.
