  			This was tabbed from a live recording at CBGB?s.  
Once I get CD, I will check it to make sure it?s the same key. 
 
 
        A 
Well, I push my load across the land  
D                                   A 
Livin? the life of a travelin? man  
A 
Dusk brings down another day  
      D                                  A 
Gonna swallow up time and throw it away  

G 
Zero to sixty, she?s the next big thing  
     D 
They tell me it?s a steal  
G 
Drive all night just to ease the pain  
D 
Don?t look away  
                   A 
Stay steady at the wheel  
 
 
You try to sing a familiar tune  
Howlin? the words under a bloodshot moon  
Blacklight troubadour, push on through  
As heartbreak sits right next to you
