Intro:

G Bm G Bm

G Bm

I used to watch Highway Patrol whittlin' with my knife

G Bm

but the thought never struck me I'd be black and white for life

G Em

I was raised on law and order in a community of strife

D Am C Am C Am

became a restless border and I never took a wife

G Bm

I went looking for Khadafi aboard Air Force One

G Bm

but I never did find him and the CIA said son

G Em

you'll never be a hero, your flying days are done

D Am C Am C Am

it's time for you to go home now, stop sniffin that smoking gun

G Bm

I was travellin with my family through the mideast late one night

G Bm

in the hotel all was quite the kids were out like little lights

G Em

then the street filled with jeeps there was an explosion to the right

D Am C Am C Am

they chanted "death to America" I was feelin like a fight

G Bm

So I ran down the stairs and out into the street

G Bm

someone kicked me in the belly someone else kissed my feet

G Em

I was Rambo in the disco shooting to the beat

D Am C Am C Am

When they burned me in effigy my vacation was complete
