5  5    5 -4  4   -4     4
I gave up the fast lane
4     4   -5    -5     5 -4    5 -4 
For a black top county road
6        6          6   6  -6   6    5 4
Just burned out on all that talk
4 -4     -4   -4 4     4 -3
About the mother load

I'd trade it for a somber
4  4 -5      -5 5 -4 5 -4
A bigger piece of sky
6        6          6     6      -6   6 6 5
When I miss the good ole days
-4 -4       5 -4      4
I can't imagine why

-6   -6  6   -6 -5
Still I get restless
-6      6 6   6 5
Drive into town
6            6        5         5 -4
Cruise once down Main Street 
6     6       -5          5 5
And turn back around

5   -6 -6    6    -6     -5
It's crazy but God knows
-6 -6    -6   6    6 5 
I don't act my age
6       6  -6    6 5 5 -4 
Like an old desperado

Who paints the town beige

Down along the river
Pass the swimming hole
You can find your peace of mind
With just a fishing pole

You can walk the river
For miles and miles on end
Never stop and leave it in
That dream around the bend


Still I get restles
Drive into town
My radio playin
My window rolled down

It's crazy but God knows
I don't act my age 
Like an old desperado
Who paints the town beige

Deep down in the winter
Time slows to a crawl
There's really nothing much to do 
Until the first spring thaws

It's then I get to thinking
I must've gone insane
Memories roll through my mind
Like a long slow railroad train

Still I get restless 
Drive into town 
Watch the world through a windshield 
As it all comes unwound

It's crazy but God knows
I don't act my age
Like those old desperadoes 
Who paints the town beige
 
I gave up the fast lane
