Verse 1
 C 
Sun got it wrong, there's thunder but no rain 
               C 
And there's a violent need for dancin' on every face 
     C 
The more a place sleeps the rougher the spirit 
          C 
Put your ear down to the ground and you can almost hear it 
 
Chorus
   F                           C 
I wanna crawl right out of my skin 
F                                      C 
Go back in time, cakewalk and ripped fringe 
        F 
I want solitude, don't wanna be alone 
       F 
Wanna put down roots, wanna be a rolling stone 
 F                                     C 
Hey hey daddy, I got those shakedown blues 
 F                                 C 
Hey hey daddy, I know you feel it too

Verse 2
  C 
Speakeasy queen some place faraway 
 C 
Typewriter on my bar just like Hemingway 
   C 
I gotta get way gone from this tumbleweed town 
      C 
Ain't no use in talking when I'm almost out 
 
Chorus
   F                           C 
I wanna crawl right out of my skin 
F                                      C 
Go back in time, cakewalk and ripped fringe 
        F 
I want solitude, don't wanna be alone 
       F 
Wanna put down roots, wanna be a rolling stone 
 F                                     C 
Hey hey daddy, I got those shakedown blues 
 F                                 C 
Hey hey daddy, I know you feel it too
