I got the version from the "Chronicle", but there's also a live-version on "Live in Germany".
[Verse 1]
DWas ridin' along side the highway, Grollin' on the country side.
DThinkin' I'm the devil's heatwave, what you Gburn in your crazy mind?
DSaw a slight dis-Ctraction  Gstandin' by the road.
CShe was smilin' there, Ayellow in her hair.
