Blow You Away

By Robert Earl Keen Jr.

>Bigger Piece of Sky - Sugar Hill Records, 1993

INTRO

Moderately fast

A -D -A -D

[A] You get off from [D] work a bit [E] early

[A] The boss doesn't [D] care if you [E] stay

[A] The guard with the [D] key has to [E] check your I.[A]D.

But he'd [D] just as soon [E] blow you a[A]way

The cops have stopped 10 miles of traffic

They're sorry for all the delay

No need for alarm as they're waving their arms

But they'd just as soon blow you away

Two pretty blondes in a Porshe

Their bumper says "We love LA"

They look pretty fair but they're crazy out there

And they'd just as soon blow you away

You got in some trouble in high school

But you feel like a new man today

You keep to yourself because anyone else

Would just as soon blow you away

You're standing in from of the teller

She's counting out all of your pay

There's twenties and ones, there's guards with their guns

And they'd just as soon blow you away

One old ex-con in station

Fixes flats at the back of the bay

He winks and he jokes, then borrows a smoke

But he'd just as soon blow you away

You like the new girl at the hotel

She drops your room key in the tray

No words will pass through the bullet-proof glass

Cause they'd just as soon blow you away

You climb up the stairs every evening

To your room right above the caf?

There ain't much mystique but you pay every week

'Cause they'd just as soon blow you away

And you turn out the light that you read by

You pray that you're one of the few

When you're in with the lord there's just one reward

And they'd just as soon make it come true

The mattress is mildewed and lumpy

But you fall fast asleep where you lay

Under the lump there's a .20 gauge pump

'Cause they'd just as soon blow you away
