Capo 4, standard tuning
Intro: C F    x 3
       CC GG FC... keep strumming into verse
Old gas sFtation Chasn’t changed in FdecadesC  
FCashier cChecks the Gtime around hFer
Cput my things on the cGounterC  
Pull out my wFallet Clike some pull down the shFadesC  
My oFnly brothCer lent me his oGnly caFr
who knew I would Cdrive it so GfarC  
Sometimes you mFove Cout of some FobligatioCns
It was gForgeous on the Coutside, inGside it was just a mFachine
it was the fastest Cthing I’ve Gever seenC  
I first met VictorFia Cat Victoria stationF  C  
We’d alwFays taClked about goiGng for a beFer
She said, “It’s sCtrange now thGat you’re here.”C  
We went back to her FplaceC, 57th we’d Fcross itC  
She’s as pFoor as Cme but she looks twGice as goFod
I told her that becCause it’s Gsomething I wouldC  
She shrugged a littFle Cand she turned ofFf the fCaucet
And laFter oCn as we were crawGling iFnto bed
I was thinking Con something my faGther had saidC  
He said, “You’re better oFff, Coff of the mFain dragC.”
with my well-woFrn boCdy wrenchGed like a raFg
There I waCs, straight ofGf the main draCg
