                            D      Dbm            D*Dbm  
High hopes on a vagina or two, he's taking his chances

Meanwhile back in his living room bright smiles are watching his toddler run

Speed trials over grandmother's rug, and nature advances

C      Am           D    B7    Em         C      D        B7    C
Up the interstate, he's been awake and pretty drunk for three whole days
       Am    D       B7         Em      Bm           C
No one wants to stop until they get to where they're going

I'll get to where Iím going pretty soon
