Blow You Away By Robert Earl Keen Jr. Bigger Piece of Sky ö Sugar Hill Records, 1993
INTRO Moderately fast A öD öA öD
[A] You get off from [D] work a bit [E] early [A] The boss doesnât [D] care if you [E] stay [A] The guard with the [D] key has to [E] check your I.[A]D. But heâd [D] just as soon [E] blow you a[A]way
The cops have stopped 10 miles of traffic Theyâre sorry for all the delay No need for alarm as theyâre waving their arms But theyâd just as soon blow you away
Two pretty blondes in a Porshe Their bumper says ãWe love LAä They look pretty fair but theyâre crazy out there And theyâd just as soon blow you away
You got in some trouble in high school But you feel like a new man today You keep to yourself because anyone else Would just as soon blow you away
Youâre standing in from of the teller Sheâs counting out all of your pay Thereâs twenties and ones, thereâs guards with their guns And theyâd just as soon blow you away
One old ex-con in station Fixes flats at the back of the bay He winks and he jokes, then borrows a smoke But heâd just as soon blow you away
You like the new girl at the hotel She drops your room key in the tray No words will pass through the bullet-proof glass Cause theyâd just as soon blow you away
You climb up the stairs every evening To your room right above the cafŽ There ainât much mystique but you pay every week ÎCause theyâd just as soon blow you away
And you turn out the light that you read by You pray that youâre one of the few When youâre in with the lord thereâs just one reward And theyâd just as soon make it come true
The mattress is mildewed and lumpy But you fall fast asleep where you lay Under the lump thereâs a .20 gauge pump
