The Beauty Way

C
 My father made a pretty dam good living
 Playin music on the beauty way
 He's gonna die with some money in his pocket
 Wish I could do the same today, little Darlin'"
 Wish I could do the same today
 Wide eyed kid and a little transister tuned into Wolfman Jack.
 I picked up a guitar, heard the sirens whisper
 And I never looked back, little Darlin.
 And I never looked back.
 I worked the clubs along the Sangre de Cristos
 Polished a diamond in the rough.
 By the time I hit LA I was hotter than a pistol
 But you're never hot enough, little Darlin
 You're never really hot enough.
 I felt the lights on the big, big stages:
 A fire bunin in my Soul.
 I've had those nights where my guitar rages.
 But it's not something you control, little Darlin'
 It's not something you control.
 break
 Red tail diving for a rat on sunset.
 Coyote pickin thru the trash.
 I Wish I was lyin' like a cat in the sun instead of
 Workin like a dog for the cash, little Darlin'
 Workin like a dog for the cash
 Sometimes I wish I could unplug this cord.
 And my soul and my money I could save
 But every time I think quit this beauty way
 I hear my bones just turning in their grave
 little darlin.
 bones just turnin in their grave.
 Hey hh hhh hey hey heyaaa he ahhh.
