F
There were ghosts in the eyes
Bb

Of all the boys you sent away
They haunt this dusty beach road
Am
On the skeleton frames of
Bb
burned out Chevrolets
They scream your name at night
C
in the street
F
Your graduation gown lies
Bb
in rags at their feet
Am
And in the lonely cool before dawn
Bb
You hear their engines roaring on
Gm
Em
When you get to the porch
Dm
C
Bb
They're gone on the wind
Gm
So Mary, climb in
Bb
It's a town full of losers
C
I'm pulling out of here to win
