What in the world does your company take me for?

She's a runner, rebel and a stunner,
Dm Dm Am Am
On her merry way, saying "Baby watcha gonna?",
Am Am G G Dm Dm Am Am
Lookin' down the barrel of a hot metal .45,
Am Am G G Dm Dm
Just another way to survive

Too true to say goodbye to you
Bm Bm
Too true to sad, sad, sad

Pushed the fader, Gifted animator,

Never made it up to Minnesota,
