Well the [C]times are getting hard for you, little girl
I'm a [G]humming and a strumming, all [D]over God's world
[C] You can't remember when you got your last meal
[G] And you don't know just [D]how a woman feels
[Bb] You didn't know what rock and roll was,
[Eb]until you met my drummer on a grey tour bus
[Bb]I got there in the nick of time,
[Eb]before he got his hands across your state line, [C]yeah

Verse 2
Now it's the [C]middle of the night on the open road
And the [G]heater don't work and it's [D]oh so cold
[C] You're looking tired, you're looking kind of beat
The [G]rhythm of the street sure [D]knocks you off your feet
[Bb] You didn't know how rock and roll looked,
[Eb]until you caught your sister with the guys from the group
[Bb]Halfway home in the parking lot,
by the [Eb]look in her eye she was giving what she got

[C]Woman you're a mess going to die in your sleep
There's [G]blood on my amp and my [D]Les Paul's beat
[C] Can't keep you home, you're messing around
My [G]best friend told me you're the [D]best lick in town
[Bb] You didn't know that rock and roll burned,
[Eb]so you bought a candle and you lived and you learned
[Bb] You got the rhythm you got the speed,
[Eb]Mama's little baby likes it short and sweet
