I was never one to compromise
Couldnât fit in at school
Gonzo by the 7th grade
I played em all the fool
Well I couldnât find shoes my size
Had to walk ten miles
Thereâs blisters on the backs of my soles
And an illegal smile
Weâre burning down Las Vegas town
Had to sleep by noon
Drank my money on a red roulette
Thatâs a ride you canât refuse
Five hours down with a sunrise frown
Lightning in your shoes
Itâs one foot in the ether
With the LA County blues
Fill x2
They got me on accessory
Thirty days in jail
One headlight in a Luisville night
Without a chance of bail
Well Iâll be home at derby time
So please save me a seat
Mint juleps on the outfield grass
The old south tastes so sweet
Weâre burning down Las Vegas town
Had to sleep by noon
Drank my money on a red roulette
Thatâs a ride you canât refuse
Five hours down with a sunrise frown
Lightning in your shoes
Itâs one foot in the ether
With the LA County blues
Fill x 2
Well you can call Mister Raoul Duke
Iâll know what you mean
Blinded by a quart of rum
And a dose of mescaline
Mint 400 couldnât slow me down
I kinda like the speed
With the failure of our generation
For a couple bags of weed
Weâre burning down Las Vegas town
Had to sleep by noon
Drank my money on a red roulette
Thatâs a ride you canât refuse
Five hours down with a sunrise frown
Lightning in your shoes
Itâs one foot in the ether
With the LA County blues
Itâs one foot in the ether
With the LA
With the LA County blues
Fill x 2
