A#m A#m
[Verse 1]
A#m
I've crossed the line
A#m
I've bent the rules
A#m
Home of the brave
A#m
Red, white, and blue
A#m
I've fought the fire
A#m
Running through my head
A#m
Stood by and watched
A#m
Believed in what they said
[Chorus]
A#m
I'm 40 miles of bad road
F#
D# riverbed of potholes
D#
I know, I know, I know where
A#m
the money goes
A#m
Down a shaft of ratholes
F#
Lowered by my ankles
D#
Where dear dogs lie in the
A#m
afterglow
[Verse 2]
A#m
I've walked the cage
A#m
I've been in cuffs
A#m
I've done the time
A#m
Enough is enough
A#m
I know my rights
A#m
Know when I'm wrong
A#m
But nothing seemed to matter
A#m
Until you came along
[Chorus]
A#m
I'm 40 miles of bad road
F#
D# riverbed of potholes
D#
I know, I know, I know where
A#m
the money goes
A#m
Down a shaft of ratholes
F#
Lowered by my ankles
D#
Where dear dogs lie in the
A#m
afterglow
[Verse 3]
A#m
I've wrapped my wounds
A#m
I've closed my eyes
A#m
Escaped to nowhere
A#m
Turning back the tide
A#m
I asked the sage
A#m
What it's gonna take
A#m
To get out of Jordan
A#m
With everything at stake
[Chorus]
A#m
I'm 40 miles of bad road
F#
D# riverbed of potholes
D#
I know, I know, I know where
A#m
the money goes
A#m
Down a shaft of ratholes
F#
Lowered by my ankles
D#
Where dear dogs lie in the
A#m
afterglow
[Outro]
A#m
In the afterglow
A#m
In the afterglow
A#m A#m
In the afterglow
