New Speedway Boogie

E	G	D	E
Please don’t dominate the rap Jack, if you	got nothin’	new to	say.

	E	G	D	E
And	if you please, don’t back up the tracks, this	train’s got to	run	today.

	E
I	spent a little time on the mountain, spent a little time on the hill.

E	G	D	A
Like some say, better run away;	others say you	better stand	still.

	E	G	D	A
Now	I don’t know but I been told that it’s	hard to	run with the	weight of gold

	E	G	D
On the	other hand, I’ve heard it said, it’s	just as	hard with the

	A
	weight of lead

E	G	D	E
Who can deny, who can deny, it’s	not just a	change of	style.

E	G	D	E
One step done and another begun, and I	wonder how	many	miles.

	E
I	spent a little time on the mountain, spent a little time on the hill,

E	G	D	A
I saw things getting out of hand but I	guess they	always	will.

	E	G	D	A
Well,	I don’t know, but I’ve been told in the	heat of the	sun a man	died of cold.

E	G	D	A
Keep on comin’ or stand and wait with the	sun so	dark and the	hour so late.

E	G	D	E
You can’t overlook the lack, Jack, of	any other	highway to	ride,

	E	G	D	E
It’s	got no signs or dividing lines, and	very few	rules to	guide.

E	G	D
Now I don’t know but I’ve been told if the	horse don’t	pull you got to

A

carry the load.

E	G	D	A
I don’t know whose back`s that strong;	maybe find	out	before too long.

E	G
One way or another, one way or another, one way or another, this	darkness

	D	G
has	got to	give.
