  INTRO: (Harmonica) G   C G  Em C    G

  

  On a rattlesnake speedway in the Utah desert

       G                           Em

  

  I pick up my money and head back into town

    C                                   G

  

  Driving cross the Waynesboro county line

                                  Em

  

  I got the radio on and I'm just killing time

            C                             G

  

  Working all day in my daddy's garage

  Em                    G

  

  Driving all night chasing some mirage

  Em                        Am

  

  Pretty soon little girl I'm gonna take charge

  C                             D7

  

  

  The dogs on Main Street howl `cause they understand

      G                                    C    G

  

  If I could take one moment into my hands

             Em       C              G

  

  Mister I ain't a boy,  no I'm a man

                            C     G

  

  And I believe in a promised land

      Em  C                   G

  

  

  I've done my best to live the right way

  I get up every morning and go to work each day

  But your eyes go blind and your blood runs cold

  Sometimes I feel so weak I just want to explode

  Explode and tear this town apart

  Take a knife and cut this pain from my heart

  Find somebody itching for something to start

  

  The dogs on Main Street...

  

  There's a dark cloud rising from the desert floor

  I packed my bags and I'm heading straight into the storm

  Gonna be a twister to blow everything down

  That ain't got the faith to stand its ground

  Blow away the dreams that tear you apart

  Blow away the dreams that break your heart

  Blow away the lies that leave you nothing but lost and brokenhearted   

  

  The dogs on Main Street...

  ...Promised Land, and I believe in the Promised Land, and I believe

              G         Em  C                     G         Em  C

  

  in the Promised Land.

                  G
