Gonna track em' down.
       A           //                                D
 They live in a brick house    painted white and brown.
D//                   //                       //                 //     
Left a tip for maid and I packed up my guitar, dropped my key on the counter, rented a car.

( Repeat the same pattern for the next Verses)

Well I may shake your hand but I won't know your name. The joke in your language don't
out the same. There's times when I'm down and there's nothing to blame.

I need a big weekend. Kick up the dust. Yeah a big weekend. If you don't run, you rust.

I can work, I can travel, sleep anywhere, cross every border with nothing to declare.
can look back babe, but it's best not to stare.

I need a big weekend. Kick up the dust. Yeah a big weekend. If you don't
run, you rust.
