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:

Harmonica solo..
