 Come  out and burn rubber, it's out  in the  streets
 It's  Saturday night once again.
 The  highway patrol stops at Denny's  to eat,
 The  world's racin' but nobody  wins.
 Young  girls will try the new fashion  tonight,
 Then  go the dance at the school.
 And  the boys will start drinkin' and  get their  heads tight
 And  the flatlanders try to  look cool.
 Then  the band will start playin'  and no one  will care,
 Though  they request all their  favorite songs.
 They  just wanna make sure  that their friends  are  all there,
 So  they can feel like they  belong.
 Then they go to a friends' house and watch MTV,
 Where all the bands look just alike.
 And they may even like some of that dumb stuff they see,
 Then dress up in leather and spikes.
 But  when they go and they  start to grow old
 They  go home to bed every  night
 'Cause  when they start workin'  they get tired  and slow
 Get  married and start a new  life
 Friends move away, never heard of again
 Funny how everyone ages
 Their face in the yearbook is what's left of them
 And the poems that they left on the pages
 Where Do They Go
 from the record "Tales of the New West" by The Beat Farmers
 written by Jerry Raney
 Note: the first line of the lyric is WAY wrong, as I can't make it out.
 Chord positioning over lyrics is approximate.
 The intro D pattern repeats throughout.
 Chord notes:
 Dsus4 000233 - just add your pinky to the D chord at the 3rd fret
  (leave your 3rd finger where it was to keep the D chord intact)
 Dsus2 000230 - drop the top string from the D chord
