Verse 1
(G major) I'm a high steppin', high bettin'
Love givin', I'm a love gettin'
I'm a stranger,
I love stretchin' out my wheels (C major) (D major)
Overnightin' on the desert strip
Makin' time and losin' grip
Drivin' circles in the (G major) canyons (D major) of my mind (G major)
Verse 2
I'm (G major) an outsider lookin' in
I got a perfect square for a
circle of friends
It's the four of us against the rest of you (C major)
(D major) But really I am all alone
I'd sell 'em out to save my own
I told them that but they
don't buy the truth (G major)

Verse 3
I'm (G major) a high steppin', high bettin'
Love givin', I'm a love gettin'
I'm a stranger,
I love stretchin' out my wheels (C major) (D major)

Drivin' circles in the canyons
of my mind
(G major)
Verse 4
(D major)
Well it's warfare out
there, folks
You're either working for suc (E flatdim) cess
Or to be rich or, (E minor) God help us,
famous
Or you're work (D major) ing against
the clock (G major) just to stay afloat
(C major) Got your nose all scraped
up from the grindstone
(G major) You're digging for diamonds and only
find (A major) ing rhinestones
Meanwhile it's August and the tax (G major) man has
never heard of summer vacation
(F sharp major) You're either working on yourself
or you're lookin' after babies
(G major) Takin' care of your old man
or your old lady
And the direct line to the hospital
just says "Leave a message"
(C major) See, you can only live one
day at a time
Only drive (G major) one hot rod at a time
(A major) Only say one word at a time
And only think one thought at a time
And every soul is alone
when the day becomes night
(E minor) And there in the dark
if you can try to (G major) see the light
In the most pitch black (C major) shape
of the loneliest shadow
Well then you ought to sleep (E minor) well
'Cause there's hope for sure (A major)
Well I don't know about
all that being true but
I do (C major) know this
The best beggars are (G major) choosers
Verse 5
(C major)
The best winners are (G major) losers
(C major) The best lovers (D major) ain't never been (G major) loved
(C major) And first place ain't (G major) easy
(C major) The hardest part is (G major) be lieving (C major)
The very last word is love
(D major)
Verse 6
I'm a (G major) high steppin', high bettin'
Love givin', I'm a love gettin'
I'm a stranger, I love stretchin' out
my wheels (C major) (D major)
Overnightin' on the desert strip
Makin' time and losin' grip
Outro 1
Drivin' circles in the canyons of my mind
(G major)
