E7Got a silver Eldorado sittin' just outside the door.
She'll burn a little rubber, if you put her to the floor.
A7Times are getting tough so we don't run much anymore
DLook out Ason it's a long way E7down
E7Girls all use to love me, I was all the rage you see.
Till, my lofty diposition finally got the best of me. 
Now I A7sit here in the evening alone as I can be.
DLook out Ason is a long way E7down.
E7Remember my amigos you are talking to a man
So as I A7stand here before with the past at my comand,
DLook out Ason, it's a long way E7down.
[Chorus]
AAin't no sitting on the fence when it comes to truth or consequience.
There's just some things there ain't no way Baround.
Look out son its a long way E7down.

[Verses]

Got a silver Eldorado sittin' just outside the door.

She'll burn a little rubber, if you put her to the floor.

Times are getting tough so we don't run much anymore

D A E7

Look out son it's a long way down

Girls all use to love me, I was all the rage you see.

Till, my lofty diposition finally got the best of me.

Now I sit here in the evening alone as I can be.

D A E7

Look out son is a long way down.

Remember my amigos you are talking to a man

So as I stand here before with the past at my comand,

D A E7

Look out son, it's a long way down.

[Chorus]

Ain't no sitting on the fence when it comes to truth or consequience.

There's just some things there ain't no way around.

Look out son its a long way down.
