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
