High Steppin

A


[Chorus]
A
I'm a-high steppin', high bettin'

Love givin', I'm a-love gettin'
I'm a stranger, I love stretchin' 
        D
out my wheels
E
Overnightin' on the desert strip

Makin' time and losin' grip
Drivin' circles in the canyons of my
  A
 mind


[Verse 1]
 A
I'm an outsider lookin' in

I got a perfect square for a circle 
of friends
It's the four of us against the rest
     D
 of you
E
But really I am all alone

I'd sell 'em out to save my own
I told them that but they don't buy 
       A
the truth


[Chorus]
A
I'm a-high steppin', high bettin'

Love givin', I'm a-love gettin'
I'm a stranger, I love stretchin' 
         D
out my wheels
E
Overnightin' on the desert strip

[Interlude]
N.C.
Well it's warfare out there, folks

You're either working for success

Or to be rich or, God help us, 
famous
N.C.
Or you're working against the clock 
just to stay afloat

Got your nose all scraped up from 
the grindstone

You're digging for diamonds and only
 finding rhinestones
N.C.
Meanwhile it's August and the tax 
man has never heard of summer 
vacation

You're either working on yourself or
 you're lookin' after babies

Takin' care of your old man or your 
old lady
N.C.
And the direct line to the hospital 
just says "Leave a message"

See, you can only live one day at a 
time

Only drive one hot rod at a time
N.C.
Only say one word at a time

And only think one thought at a time

And every soul is alone when the day
 becomes night
N.C.
And there in the dark if you can try
 to see the light

In the most pitch black shape of the
 loneliest shadow

Well then you ought to sleep well
N.C.
'Cause there's hope for sure

Well I don't know about all that 
being true but

I do know this


[Verse 2]
D                     A
The best beggars are choosers
D                     A
The best winners are losers
D                E            
The best lovers ain't never been 
     A
loved
D                      A
And first place ain't easy
D                 A
The hard part is believing
D                      E
The very last word is love


[Chorus]
A
I'm a-high steppin', high bettin'

Love givin', I'm a-love gettin'
I'm a stranger, I love stretchin' 
         D
out my wheels
E
Overnightin' on the desert strip

Makin' time and losin' grip
Drivin' circles in the canyons of my
  A
 mind
