New Speedway Boogie

E                                          G           D       E 
Please don't dominate the rap Jack, if you got nothin' new to say. 
    E                                              G             D     E 
And if you please, don't back up the tracks, this train's got to run today. 

 E 
I spent a little time on the mountain, spent a little time on the hill. 

E                                 G             D            A 
Like some say, better run away; others say you better stand still. 

    E                                      G       D             A 
Now I don't know but I been told that it's hard to run with the weight of gold   
       E                                    G       D 
On the other hand, I've heard it said, it's just as hard with the 
						A			 
						weight of lead 
			  

E                                G          D          E 
Who can deny, who can deny, it's not just a change of style. 
E                                      G          D     E 
One step done and another begun, and I wonder how many miles. 
								 

  E 
I spent a little time on the mountain, spent a little time on the hill, 
E                                       G         D       A 
Things went down we don't understand but I think in time we will. 
      E                                       G           D         A 
Now, I don't know, but I was told in the heat of the sun a man died of cold.  
E                                         G       D            A 
Keep on comin' or stand and wait with the sun so dark and the hour so late. 


E                                     G         D          E 
You can't overlook the lack, Jack, of any other highway to ride, 
     E                                   G        D        E 
It's got no signs or dividing lines, and very few rules to guide. 
  E 
I spent a little time on the mountain, spent a little time on the hill, 
E                                       G         D       A 
I saw things gettin' outta hand I guess they always will. 
E                                          G           D 
Now I don't know but I've been told if the horse don't pull you got to  
A 
carry the load. 
E                                      G          D      A 
I don't know whose back`s that strong; maybe find out before too long. 

E                                                                 G 
One way or another, one way or another, one way or another, this darkness  
    D      E  
has got to give.
