A E
Out on the edge of an empty highway,
B E
Howling at the blood on the moon,
A E
Big diesel Mack truck rolling down my way,
B A E A E
Can't hit that border too soon.
A E
Running hard out of Muskrat Flats,
B E
It was sixty days or double life,
A E
Hail on my back like a shotgun blast,
B A
High wind chimes in the night.
D G C
Oh, oh the Pride of Cucamonga,
D G C
Oh, oh bitter olives in the sun,
D C
Oh, oh I had me some lovin',
G A E A E
And I done some time.
A E
Since I came down from Oregon, there's a
B E
Lesson or two I've learned
A E
By standing in the road alone,
B A
Standing watching the fires burn.
A E
The northern sky it stinks with greed,
B E
You can smell it heavy for miles around,

Good ole boys in the Greystone Hotel,
B A
Sitting doing that git on down.

A E
I see your silver shining town,
B E
But I know I can't go there
A E
Your streets run deep with poisoned wine,
B A
Your doorways crawl with fear.

So I think I'll drift for ol' where it's at,
B E
Where the weed grows green and fine
A E
And wrap myself around a bush of that bright,
B A
Whoa, on Oaxaca vine.

Yes, it's me, I'm the Pride of Cucamonga,

I can see golden forests in the sun.

Oh, oh I had me some lovin',

And I done some time.

And I done some time.
