G You know I could have worked the rigs when the money was big C G Or hopped a freighter south to Trinidad C G And when they tried to draft me I earned a college degree A D Buyin' time 'til things were not so bad C G But then I got a guitar, found a job in a bar, C G/B D Playin' acid rock 'til I was numb C G D G Tell me where are the flashbacks they all warned us would come
