A D A E D A D E A
AHit me once for Dbroke
Hit me tAwo for the Droad
Well, Abilene Awas a scream and a cursEe
Tell anAother joDke before I goA  
For better, or baby, for worseF#m  D  
Back when hAigh was Dhigh, and low was Alow
And ten cent would buy you the Ematinee show
Give a damAn who the sDtar, the theatre was dAark
AAnd took you away with a glow
DIf I had a dEollar for every Awallet I sDtole
Oh, I'd buy this whole Atown
The judge Dand the poAund
I'd lDet all them bad Adogs goE  
But I dDon't, so I'll sApend my last on the wDind
For she runs through my veins like hAome
D A E D A D E A
AI took it spinning, love, Dwith the top downA  
Rode her three times down the HighwEay Nine
May have brAoke a bone, Doh I don't know
Anyway, I'm stEill aliveF#m  D  
A haunted heart don't beat but once a weeDk
The rest is only echoeEs
A paraDde of ghostAs and dirty sheetsD  
From Govalle to JerichoA  
DIf I had a dAollar for every wallet I sDtole
Oh, I'd buy this whole tAown
The juDdge and the pAound
I'd Dlet all them bAad dogs go
But I Ddon't, so I'll sApend my last on the wDind
For she runs through my vAeins like home
