Verse 1
| Bm Gb7 Well I'm tryin' to find my way back home to my sainted Aunt Marie |
| A E7 She was last seen in a comic book which did not belong to me |
| Bm Gb7 Well she took me for an outlaw and I took her for a fool |
| A E7 So I set sail on a cruise ship on a voyage 'cross a swimming pool |
Bm E G Bm
Chorus 1
| A E7 Well don't say I'm only half insane, don't tell me that I'm wrong | |
| G D Everybody's up in arms, I'm just trying to belong | |
| Bm A If there's one thing that I've learned in life, I know it's kinda dumb | |
| You gotta stop E7 and smell the roadkill F, don't forget Gb where you are from |
Gb7...
Verse 2
- Well I thought that everything I thought was just as well as done
- So I went out without a doubt and tried to look for number one
- It came upon me slowly, so I got up and went
- It happened then, I don't know when, I got tied up in cement
Bm E G Bm
Chorus 2
- Well listen here, I don't know for sure, but it just seems so to me
- You're dead set on your reckoning, don't get caught too far at sea
- If there's one thing that I've learned, just stop and let me have my say
- You gotta stop and smell the roadkill, count your blessings every day
solo verse
E B7 D A Bm E C G Gb-aug-7 Bm
Bridge
- I oftimes can remember
- Or at leastaways can't forget
- All the times we'd say that we got to get away
- And we haven't got one yet
- Wake up and smell the catfood
- You're living in a fool's pair a' shoes
- Sometimes when you ain't winning,
- Best thing to do is lose.
Chorus 3
- If there's one thing you done told me, and I knew it all along
- I may be insane, I might be to blame, but I'm the one that wrote this song
- If you're out riding shotgun when I come nosin' 'round
- Just stop and smell the roadkill, it's the best thing that I've found
