C                   G 
Hour on ahead to Mescaline 
C                                  G 
I can hear the sound of a midnight train 
D                              G   C 
Roamin everywhere that I wanna be 
Em                    D           G 
Out there where there aint no memories 

C                         G 
Never had much to call my own 
C                           G 
Just this spirit, flesh and bone 
D                                      G   C 
If we drive all night we can catch the sun

Tryin to break free of this nowhere town 
D                                                     C 
Alcohol and nicotene always got a friend that you can turn 
D                                                          C 
Pour a little gasoline, if you got a match we can watch it burn

Like I burn

Pass the dying ring of a steel guitar
