Tuning: Standard EADGBe
Intro
verse 1
Broke down busted
Hot wired dusty
I stole my car
from the city lot
Cause last night's
buzz is all I got
Now I'm rolling wide
eyed I'm never stuck
on the sidelines
Ask me why I gotta
leave this town again
Refrain 1
I'll do what it
takes to stay alive
Forget the rules
they don't apply
I'd lose my mind
at your 9 to 5
Cause it's not
my kind of life
Chorus 1
I just wanna know why
Why I gotta be quiet
I don't wanna just sit
down and shut my mouth
All these things
I could do without
I want a new life
I just wanna drive all
night Wake up in the sunrise
and love myself again again again
Post Chorus
verse 2
We're living on nothing
Reaching for something
Cheap t-shirts old blue
jeans Big black boots
and too much caffeine
Yeah I'm a smart ass
I'm uptight I never
back down from a fistfight
Might be why I gotta
leave this town again!
Refrain 2
Yeah I'll do what it
takes to stay alive
Forget the rules
they don't apply
I'd lose my mind
at your 9 to 5
Cause it's not
my kind of life
Chorus 2
I just wanna know why
Why I gotta be quiet
I don't wanna just sit
down and shut my mouth
All these things
I could do without
I want a new life
I just wanna drive all
night Wake up in the sunrise
and love myself again again again
Bridge
And who are they to call me crazy
You see what you wanna see
You know they're never gonna change me
Cause I'll be who I wanna be
We gotta live the way we wanna
Cause nobody ever oughta
just waste away waste away
And what's wrong with being happy
You know you'd love it if you tried
I know that everybody can be
If only for a little while
We're gonna make it to the end
Ya gotta chase it till ya win
I wanna feel free I wanna be free
Chorus 3
I wanna new life
I wanna drive all night
I wanna wake up in the sunrise
and love myself again
Chorus 4
I just wanna know why
Why I gotta be quiet
I don't wanna just sit
down and shut my mouth
All this shit
I could do without
I wanna new life
I just wanna drive all night
Wake up in the sunrise
and love myself
love myself
love myself
again!
again
