Makin hay with the devil in the new days sun

Striking at the iron while the iron is hot
Am                      G       Am
I’ll pay my dues for the life I got


Livin for the minute and livin for the day
In my own town in my own way
Headin nowhere just as fast as I can
Yeah I’m ridin on dunes leavin tracks in the sand

Am                           C      Am
I say that’s how you die a lonely man

There’s a train to Chicago and a plane to L.A.

Die yi yi yippy yippy yippy yay goin real hard drivin at the wind

Kids are always asking, when daddy’s getting hooooome
Momma’s getting angry dinners cold upon the stove
She takes all the kids awaaay!!!
I get the life of a lonely man
I get the life of a lonely man
I get the life of a lonely man
I get the life of a lonely man
