Bb 
F 
C 
I was raised on a little farm,
F 
C 
G 
off a dirt road on R -D -3.
C 
G 
C 
Once a week while we'd go to town,
D 
just to see what there was
G 
there that was going down.
C 
G 
C 
Behind a barn, watching trains go by,
F 
until the day I jumped
D 
and caught one on the fly.
C 
F 
I said goodbye farm, life is tough,
G 
C 
had to get a city bound.

F 
C 
G 
I came to town to a yellow
C 
factory smock,
F 
C 
slowly choking from the smoke,
honking cars to leave the cursed sky,
D 
I picked up a bunch of tender
G 
shingles from my eye,
C 
twelve people knocked me off my feet,
F 
they sent me helter -skelter
D 
to a garbage heap,
C 
the street sweeper swept me up
F 
G 
and dumped me on the road to the
C 
F 
farm
D

C 
By the time I could walk back home
F 
C 
I saw him what he paved the road
G 
C 
He cleared the land for
a Hamburg stand
D 
Down the street he built himself
G 
a neat trailer camp
C 
G 
C 
A driving show and a home for me
F 
D 
I took a goofy golf course and a roller rink
C 
F 
G 
He left me no choice but to go and dig a hole
C 
F 
D 
C 
Bb 
F 
C 
in the sand
Here I am on the edge of land
F 
C 
Looking toward the stormy sea
G 
The sky is filled with aeroplanes
C 
D 
And powerboats and yachts
G 
are running dead at sea
C 
G 
C 
In camp it's cars and
bikes and buses
F 
D 
People everywhere are caught
in traffic rushes
C 
F 
Running from the farm to the town
G 
C 
Through the hole in the ground
Yeah, I guess we've finally come to a time
F 
When there's not too
D 
much of everything
C
