Key: E

Intro: E A

I’ve been around the world a long time mister
and i’ve got a thing or two to say
i wont try to bore you with a tough tounge twister
you wouldn’t bite that anyways

and love is so sweet
it makes you bounce when you walk down the street

(same as verse I – E A)
you’ve been to school you say you are a lawyer
walked out of a magazine
i’ve been a drifter and a whole life loser
but you could learn alot from me

hey i, i gotta say, i have looked at life a whole another way
love is so sweet
it makes you bounce when you walk down the street
E A (through whole) solo
solo — guitar / fiddle
(kick drum — one strum for each chord)
(same E A pattern)
one thing in common is we all are different
we’re supposed to be that way
live and let live is such a good reminder
you’d do well to be that way

hey i, i gotta say, i have looked at life a whole another way
yeah, and love is so sweet
it makes you bounce when you walk down the street

yeah i said love is so sweet
it makes you bounce when you walk down the street

hey i said love is so sweet
A (no chords)
it makes you bounce when you walk down the street
E A, E

Intro chords:
[G/F#]
Ma[G/F#]gnets attract or magnets repel.
They either connect or they fight like hell.
It depends on how you turn them.
Al[G/F#]l hopped up on passion
Gal you lose all your rationale And so do I
when the fires start burning.
It’s OK to lose control now and then.
That’s just the way it is.

Chorus:
Love is crazy. Always has been.
Make you laugh and cry and stay up all night.
Love is crazy, always will be.
Baby hang on tight cause love is crazy.

Ch[G/F#]asing each other around at 2 am
The neighbor’s patience is wearing thin
Cause we live our lives too loud
Th[G/F#]ey’re not sure we’re doing this right
Don’t they make love after they fight
Honey, we don’t need that crowd
They say we’ve lost our minds
But who cares if they’re right

Chorus

Bridge:
If it was up to you and me, the world could use more insanity

Chorus

At the end of the verses play – E A B E

61st floor way downtown,

You can’t see what’s coming down
The mail lady brings a pink slip
And an empty box for my desk
Says, “Pack what you brought leave us the rest.”

Down in the parking garage I pray my truck starts again
When the CEO passes me in his new Mercedes Benz
He’s toking on a Cuban
While mine blows out the tailpipe
Some get rich while the rest get by

(Chorus)

The rich keep getting richer, but I keep staying poor
I’m working this overtime to help event the score
It feels like I’m working towards the welfare line,
But someday I’ll get mine

The big boss man and his jolly pirate crew
Were watching and planning
And plotting to get away with the loot
So clever and so quiet,
Wall Street never heard a sound
They grabbed the last piece of gold as the ship went down

Now there’s handcuffs jangling against a Rolex watch
And a squad car at the palace there to chauffeur him off
But, you know, I’ll bet some poor working stiff gets stuck serving the time
Cause some get rich while the rest get by

(Chorus)

I met up with old Saint Peter there
At the Great Pearly Gates
He told my old boss in front of me,
“Sir you’ll have to wait.”
Then he waved me on through and he winked his eye
He told me, “Some get rich while the rest get by.”

Its A Long Way To Mexico
By Roger Creager

There’s a warm breeze blowing

The palm trees and the beaches call my name
There’s a bar that I know well there
You can drink and breathe in the sea air
lay in the sun and dance in the rain
The kind of place where everyone knows your name

Chorus
I’ve got music on the stereo
Bluebonnets on the passing road
It’s a long way to Mexico,[D/C] but I’m [D/B]going [D/A]there tonight
Line the Margaritas up
I’m doing 90 in my pick-up truck
It’s a long way to Mexico

I know about this out-of-the-way place
You can disappear without a trace
Leave the world behind if only for a while
You could just get rolling see the winding road
Unfolding feeling better with every passing mile
Even the getting there makes me smile

Chorus

Bridge
It’s a place of Senoritas and where Mariachis sing
I know happiness abounds there
It’s a place where I’ll soon be

Chorus

Key: D
It’s 2 am another motel room and the boys, they?ll be sleeping soon
But I’m up and around and feeling blue with not much of anything to do
So maybe I’ll walk down the hall, see if I can find anyone at all
To get up and head out for a beer or we could just sit and talk in here
Oh it kills me all these slow nights paying my dues
But, there ain’t nothing wrong, just a late night case of the blues
Somewhere down in my soul an angel lives but he lost control
And the devil, he gives the dice a roll And he takes my heart for a spin
But in the morning I’ll be fine, the birds will sing and sun will shine
Cause I’m washed in the blood and born again, but on nights like this I’d even question him
Forgive me father for being so confused
Let’s just chalk it all up to a late night case of the blues
The phone’s been ringing loud and clear About a thousand miles from here
And I wonder if she knows my fear Or if she’s even home
Maybe I’ll go walking around or take a taxicab downtown
Or lay a five-dollar bill on the ground by the wino
While he’s sleeping, I can’t help but feel like I’m being used
Lord. Help me get over this late night case of the blues
