Asteroid Named Rest Stop
Tuning:E A D G B E
Key:A
Capo:no capo
[Verse 1]
A E A
When I pulled old 307 out of Marsport
D A E
The weather station said storms all the way
A
They stuck me with a cargo of live chickens
D
A dozen drunken miners,
E
And five hung over Shriners
A D A
The brake jet lining's overworn and pitted
D A E
The gasket on the cargo hatch was gone
A E A
I figured we could get as far as Phobos
D E A
But I didn't think we'd get much further on.
[Chorus]
D A
And I'm looking for an asteroid named Rest Stop
D A E
Relief driver damn well better be waiting for me there
A
Cuz after fifteen hours of bussin'
D
Third class cargo and riders cussin'
A E A
I just might drive to blazes and not care.
[Verse 2]
A E A
I chugged on up to Phobos on our last fumes
D A E
And prayed their engineers could heal my jets
A E A
Cuz storms had broke the locks and freed the chickens
D
And they were crappin' on the miners,
E
And runnin' from the Shriners
A D A
My jets were full of feathers and limp fezzes
D A E
And my two latrines were backed up in the hall
A E A
With chicken crap and ore dust on my main bridge
D E A
I could only hope that Phobos heard my call
[Chorus]
D A
And I'm looking for an asteroid named Rest Stop
D A E
Relief driver damn well better be waiting for me there
A
Cuz after fifteen hours of bussin'
D
Third class cargo and riders cussin'
A E A
I just might drive to blazes and not care.
[Verse 3]
A E A
At Phobos port they held me up in docking
D A E
Then they stuck me off in Bay 117 (downwind)
A E A
The customs man walked in, breathed once, and fainted
D
Then got up, ran out and screamed
E
For a fumigation team
A D A
The passengers ran for the door and jammed it
D A E
And it took more than an hour to haul them clear
A E A
I found a bar and broke some regulations
D E A
Then I went out looking for an engineer.
[Chorus]
D A
And I'm looking for an asteroid named Rest Stop
D A E
Relief driver damn well better be waiting for me there
A
Cuz after fifteen hours of bussin'
D
Third class cargo and riders cussin'
A E A
I just might drive to blazes and not care.
[Verse 4]
A E A
I found this Joe Von Krugin on a barstool
D A E
And so drunk on coolant fumes he couldn't stand
A E A
I told him I could pay him in fresh chickens
D
If he'd try to fix my drive
E
So we could leave that port alive
A D A
He staggered to my ship and stood there laughing
D A E
While bedraggled spaced-out chickens filled the air
A E A
He sat down on the nearest passed-out Shriner
D E A
And he said, "Just shoot this ship, it's only fair." (It's dead, Jim)
[Chorus]
D A
And I'm looking for an asteroid named Rest Stop
D A E
Relief driver damn well better be waiting for me there
A
Cuz after fifteen hours of bussin'
D
Third class cargo and riders cussin'
A E A
I just might drive to blazes and not care.
[Verse 5]
A E A
I called the third shift office and they told me
D A E
Son there's no replacement short of your next stop
A E A
I paid out four fat chickens for a patch job
D
Got my riders back on board
E
Then in came seven more
A D A
God, they were Martian mercenaries mean as cat dirt
D A E
And some damn-fool miner offered them a fight
A E A
They was hacking through my back seats with machetes
D E A
As I cleared that port and drove out through the night.
[Chorus]
D A
And I'm looking for an asteroid named Rest Stop
D A E
Relief driver damn well better be waiting for me there
A
Cuz after fifteen hours of bussin'
D
Third class cargo and riders cussin'
A E A
I just might drive to blazes and not care.
[Verse 6]
A E A
I locked the ports and holed up in my cabin
D A E
And listened to the ruckus in the rear
A E A
And I got a wild idea to cut the g-force
D
And let the folks, fowl and all
E
Go mix up in free fall
A D A
Now I nurse my rusty engines toward that asteroid
D A E
When they ask me what my cargo is I'll say
A E A
It's free fall Martian Stew and Chicken Gumbo
D E A
Lord, that station better not be far away.
[Chorus]
D A
And I'm looking for an asteroid named Rest Stop
D A E
Relief driver damn well better be waiting for me there
A
Cuz after fifteen hours of bussin'
D
Third class cargo and riders cussin'
A E A
I just might drive to blazes and not care.
[Outro]
D E A
I just might drive to blazes and not care.
