{Riff} 
Follow me don't follow me 
I've got my spine I've got my orange crush 
Collar me don't collar me 
I've got my spine I've got my orange crush 
We are agents of the free 
I've had my fun and now its time to 
Spread your conscience overseas 
Coming in fast over me 
 
 
E  B  F#  B

        We'd circle and we'd circle and we'd circle to stop and consider and 
        sitting there on the pavement stacked up all the trucks jacked up and 
        our wheels in slush and orange crush in pocket and all 
 
        {Solo riff begins} 
        this here county hell any county it's just like heaven here and i was 
        remembering and i was just in a differnet county and all then this 
        whirlybird that i headed for i had my goggles pulled off i knew it all 
 
        {Riff} 
        i knew every back road and every truck stop
