[Intro]
 D  A
[Verse]
Oh, I'm Dheaded out to the Ajunkyard
On the Dlonely side of Gtown
This Dtime it's a one way Dtrip boys
I Bmwon't be coming back Around
[Verse]
And it's Done last time to the Ajunkyard
I've Dswapped out my share of Gparts
From Dfenders and alterDnators
To Ashoulders, knees and DheartsD  
[Chorus]
The Bmdoctors and the meAchanics
Have Gdone all they can Ado
With Bmhammer, wrench and Ascalpel
GBall joint, valve and Ascrew
[Verse]
It's Dtime to throw in the Atowel
Some Dbreakdowns you cannot Gmend
Like Dall that have come beDfore us
We Bmall must face the Aend
[Verse]
So I'm Dlimping back to the Ajunkyard
In Dcloud of smoke and Gdust
I Dwon't be drivin' oDut this time
Gonna Alay me down to DrustD  
[Chorus]
Gonna Bmleave this old shell beAhind now
GSet our spirits Afree
Gonna Bmwalk on out to Aglory
Sun Gsetting down on Ame
[Outro]
So it's Done last time to the Ajunkyard
On the Dloneliest side of Gtown
This Dtime it's a one way Dtrip boys
I Awon't be coming back Dround
