Introduction:
E Bm A
Reduce speed ahead to fifty-five
E Bm A
little white lines keep me hypnotized
E Bm A
Lord, I can't slow down, i've gotta get through town
E Bm A
But I---I, (Picks up beat)
A E
I don't know where I'm going
Bm A
But I've been there before
E Bm A
Just a routine night another backstage door
E Bm
I've been living my life in this rat race maze
A
Breathing smoke through the light of this fuzzy haze
E Bm
I dont' care what the people say,
A E BmA
Oh, I'm gonna do it, gonna do it my way.
Solo
E Bm
Cross the dark sky comes another flash of light
A
Another clap of thunder echoes in the night
E Bm
The load is heavy and the road is hard
A
And the tips aren't steady working bar to bar
E Bm
I know I've got my dues to pay
A
and I wake up living them every damn day
E Bm
I dont' care what the people say,
A E BmA
Oh, I'm gonna do it, gonna do it my way.
Violin Solo
E Bm
Well, its setting in the west and its headin' to the east
A
And the night time is waking while the morning sleeps
E Bm A
Look out sun another days gone by, a new moons rising on the other side
E Bm
People in this business go from rags to riches
A
But i'm doing just fine with my ole rags and stitches
E Bm A
I know i was born to sing and play, just wanna do my thing on stage
E Bm
I don't care what the people say,
A E BmA
I'm gonna do it, gonna do it my way
E Bm A
Ohh ohh Ohhhh
Mandolin Solo
