[Verse 1]
Gm F Gm
The cold clean air, it sets my boot heels on fire
F Gm
But if I told you I've forgotten my past, I'd be a motherless liar
F Gm
A woman of the street, a woman of the world
F Gm
A hell-made model of the devil's girl
F Gm
I'm gonna hold my head up high and take a walk in the sun
[Verse 2]
F Gm
Well, she gave her heart to so many that shattered my world
F Gm
Ah, but a man can't ruin his life for the love of a girl
F Gm
I'm gonna throw away my crutches, gonna run in the rain
F Gm
Gonna let my nostrils swell with the nature of the plains
F Gm
I'm gonna hold my head up high and take a walk in the sun
[Bridge]
F Gm
Well, she loved so many men, my heart was breakin'
F Gm
With every little kiss, well I'd be achin'
F Gm
Yet whatever I've be given to be taken
F Bb F G C D
Ah, but a man can't live when the story begins, begins to slip away
[Verse 3]
Gm F Gm
I'm gonna walk right down that road and never return
F Gm
And not until these fires inside me are startin' to burn
F Gm
'Cause I don't need a gal beside me or a gal to keep me warm
F Gm
Or a gal that I can talk to 'til the early hours of morn'
F Gm
I'm gonna hold my head up high and take a walk in the sun
