My father made a pretty damn good living

Playing music on the Beauty Way

He's gonna die with some money in his pocket

Wish I could do the same today, little darling

Doe-eyed kid and a little transistor

Tuned into Wolfman Jack
F C Am G
I picked up a guitar, heard the siren's whisper
Am C G
And I never looked back, little darling
Am F
And I never looked back
C F
I worked the clubs along the Sangre de Cristos

Polished the diamond in the rough
F C Am G
By the time I hit L.A., I was hotter than a pistol
Am C G
But you're never hot enough, little darling
Am F
You never really hot enough
C F
I felt the lights on the big, big stages
C F
Fire burning in my soul
C Am G
I've had those nights when my guitar rages
Am C G
But it's not something you control, little darling
Am
It's not something you control

I'm only working for the cash

I hear my bones just turning in their grave, little darling

Bones turning in their grave
