Lyrics

[F] [am] [bb] [c](twice)

I [f]need me a destina[am]tion
I [bb]ain't the kinda cat's gon' [c]just jump in his car an' [f]drive [am]
[Bb] [c]
I'm [f]usin' my transpor[am]tation
[Bb]so [c]then when am I going to [f]arrive? [am] [bb] [c]

Chorus:
And I guess it's [bb]just [c]
The [f]american in [am]me
And I guess it's [bb]just [c]
The [f]way I'm apt to [am]be
And I guess it's [bb]just [c]

They're [f]stoppin' me out on the [am]freeway
[Bb]'n they ask of me what I [c]do and where I'm [f]bound [am] [bb] [c]
I [f]used to get a lot more [am]leeway
[Bb]hey, well, [c]now I get a lot more [f]down [am] [bb] [c]

Repeat chorus

The off [c]ramp backed up [bb]miles today
And the carbon [f]fumes
[F]were drifting towards the [f]sky
The [am]sky began to [bb]cry
And the thunder [c]booms

An' I'm [f]back once again on the [am]car lot
[Bb]an' I ain't even [c]paid for that thing I drove up in [f]yet [am] [bb]
[C]
[F]well, I might make a trade an' I [am]might not
[Bb]but I know I'll [c]remain in [f]debt [am] [bb] [c]

Repeat chorus:
